Ashtavakra Gita (1.8-10)

  "I do this. I do that."

The big black snake of selfishness

Has bitten you!

"I do nothing."

This is the nectar of faith,

So drink and be happy!

Know you are one,

Pure awareness.

With the fire of this conviction,

Burn down the forest of ignorance.

Free yourself from sorrow,

And be happy.

Be happy!

For you are joy, unbounded joy.

You are awareness itself.

Just as a coil of rope

Is mistaken for a snake,

So you are mistaken for the world.
