Ananta describes Sage Ashtavakra testing King Janaka’s self-realization by challenging his remaining attachments to wealth, kingdom, and sensory desires. He emphasizes that true awareness remains unmoved by the transient waves of the phenomenal world.
✦
Having realized yourself as that in which the waves of the world rise and fall, why run in turmoil?
What comes and goes is not real; the substratum in which all appearances arise is the true self.
The ocean of awareness identifies as a droplet; this mistaken identity is the root of all suffering.
