Astavakra Gita... Heard its not known who wrote .. yet credit has gone to Ashtavakra, an earthly being penalised while at the womb itself... Well, these are my takeaways.. Part 1:
1. THOU ARE THE GOD
I am THAT.. AHAM BRAHMASMI: Maybe so.. truly so. Because its the 'I' , whether as an observer or the observed , who is facing my joys and sorrows. The 'I' in the form thats not of mine, who in this three dimensional world feels all these emotions . Where is the true I coming in here?
Havent seen God shed those tears of joy and sorrow. never seen him when I needed him the most. Well.. some enlightened around me say " look at the other foot when you were treading your path with one foot - its HIS " . Justification of He is there even when He is not there .. Somewhere , He makes sure He is spotted. Thats the most successful marketing any cosmic being could have ever done.
Well.. The reality is NOW. The reality is my life , NOW...The reality is I'm living NOW. The reality is I'm feeling NOW. The reality is I'm in deep distress or joy, NOW. The reality is I will have to come out of it or BE in it NOW. And I also do it. NOW. And thats where the GODly 'I", come in. Yes, I did it. Ashtavakra is right.. I found the God in me.. I am God.. Aham Brahmaasmi.. Because, when I transcend the three dimensional world, I dont really need God. Because , I am REALLY that.. the HIM..
