Ashtavakra Gita Ch. 2 Vs. 17-19 Commentary and Contemplation - 8th August 2017
Saar (Essence)
Ananta guides listeners to recognize that they are unbounded awareness, existing beyond the dualities of bondage and freedom. He emphasizes that the seeker does not become enlightened, but rather the illusion of the individual person falls away.
The seeker does not become the finder; the recognition is that there is no person.
Only in imagination do I have limits; reflecting on this, I abide in the absolute.
The mind always tries to sell you a reference point or a position about yourself.

And unbounded awareness really, in imagination, has limits. Reflecting on this, I abide in the Absolute. Unbounded awareness, only in imagination do I have limits. Reflecting on this, I abide in the Absolute. This is enough. Neither free nor bound, the illusion of such things has fallen into peace. Although I contain creation, as a matter of fact, I am neither free nor bound. The illusion of such things has fallen into peace. Maybe you think that the mind knows only position, and then I know something, or I don't know. I am not the doer either. Neither bound nor am I free. We leave the concept as virtuous; we leave either holy or not spiritual, anything objectified. So we can come to this. If you are speaking this with integrity, you can become a bit... plus recognition, you can come to this.
Thank you. But I'm neither good nor am I bad. I am not the doer and not that it's within the world of a naughty and not that I receive is one who starts research is also again eaten up by the search. Oh, this one seeker was not the best; again, it's finished by the doer. The seeker does not become the finder. We will not go from being a seeker into an enlightened person. There is no such thing as an enlightened person. It is the recognition that there is no person. In that aspect of consequence is that we... that leaves an individuality as fallen away, or completely fallen into this peace.
I'm neither free nor bound. The illusion of such things as all the negativity, the divisions of the field, the way of opposites, the illusion of having an individual position. It is common to see, notice that everything that the mind says is trying to sell you a reference point to yourself, for position about yourself. What's the time to see this in all the needless? The way of the needless as a minute religious position-taking, it has fallen into peace. You can do it. So common it is, mostly this repulsion, this really... you come to complain that I cannot speak anything truly true, but there is nothing to it that way. The phenomenal on the whole, all opposition which the ego is moving as, touches then one way. It's a little decision. What did you say? The definitive opening, let's run away. Something physically edges with them. Nothing that happened just according to this being likely to falsely believe that individuality is calling this the pretend. It is the belief itself is a pretense.
The belief is what the power of consciousness uses to retain that link as if it is something limited. The power of belief is effective and follows to identify with the mind. That power of the unlimited functions. Why does it have to follow? So his mind came from a space; it was so much easier with this power itself or not. But we've acted everything, but also contain everything. Keeping the power to believe that we are less than everything. Everything is contained in this. No more illusion. It answers for the question like why do bad things happen to good people, why evil in this world. It could be to use a foundation of everything. This is not the representation of just an aspect. That's why I preached a word, live a little bit, and we have set the function.
Having seen for certain that this universe, everything, for certain that each universe and body is without form or substance and reveals as awareness alone. Machinations of no place. I know only means the same thing. All the said, it does not get... the illusion of mind, marginalization. My apparent appearance as a limited identity is not applied to reality, which is discovered through the function of the step of that and the side of the reporting.
