Ashtavakra Gita – Spiritual Experience of Raja Janaka Sri Ashtavakra described Raja Janaka about various aspects of body, ego, mind, soul, almighty and liberation. Raja Janaka being highly detached from worldly desires and was competent for spiritual enlightenment, experienced instantaneously the spiritual experience. Enlightened guru says, “अयमात्मा ब्रह्म” means jivatma is brahman (parmatma). After enlightenment, disciple says, “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि” means brahman is omnipresent and jivatma is little knower and at one place. When the difference between jivatma and parmatma disappears, the state is moksha. In moksha, liberated person becomes free, without aspiration and bondage. Sri Ashtavakra examines the validity of his spiritual experience of Raja Janaka. Raja Janaka explains about the different aspects after attaining the spiritual experience in various chapters which are as under: Chapter – 2: On realisation, Brahman & Jivatma:-
Chapter – 4: Enlightened Person & World:- Enlightened person drops ego, due to this his actions are natural and without stress, without aspiring for its fruits. He treats the world as play or dream. Chapter – 5: State of Spiritual Enlightenment:- After attaining spiritual enlightenment, one realises that he is eternal jivatma and there is nobody else. So nothing can be renounced. Only thing, one can drop is pride of body which is biggest bondage. Dropping of it leads to moksha. Pleasure-pain is attributes of mind, hope-despair is attributes of chit, and life-death is attributes of body. But one is pure & eternal jivatma which is only witness. Chapter – 6: State pf Moksha:- The person neither desires to acquire anything, nor want to renounce anything, nor have attachment, nor have detachment, nor have fondness, nor has dispassion, nor feels life, nor moksha, in that state of void and waking, only consciousness remains. Once that state is attained, all efforts such as dharna dhayan, meditation etc. becomes useless. Chapter – 7: Role of Senses of perception:- All restlessness is due to mind. Desires, lust, better position, need of more wealth, expectations, need for respect, need of moksha etc. are attributes of mind. All these efforts create restlessness. As ripples and waves rises in ocean, likewise these develop in mind but die down without damaging anything in enlightened person. Senses of perception and mind are always attracted towards sense objects and are satisfied through senses of actions. When senses of actions are not remaining, these attractions continue in subtle form which leads to re-birth. Chapter – 12: Process for Spiritual wisdom:- Practice and dispassion are essential for spiritual wisdom. Sri Janak says, first I restraint bodily actions, then speech actions; later mind actions. Like this, I was made available to spiritual wisdom. One should ignore bodily actions, speech actions & mind actions and become observer. All actions are carried out naturally.
Chapter – 13: Pains & Actions:
Chapter – 14: Enlightened Person & Future Actions:
Chapter – 19: Experience of Jivatma:-
Chapter – 20: Concept of Advaita:
Raja Janaka has explained the spiritual experience of realisation of Brahaman, Jivatma & Universe in the following chapters and verses (the respective verses and chapters in Sanskrit are mentioned in the end): Chapter 2: It works! Upon hearing Ashtavakra’s words Janaka realizes his True Nature. Enraptured, he describes the joy and wonder of his new state.
King Janaka realises his true nature as Jivatma and describes the joy and wonder of his new state (in chapter 2) as under:
4.1 – Ashtavakra says: The self - aware wise man takes the worldly matter sportively, he just cannot be compared to a deluded person taking burdens of the situations. 4.2 - A yogi feels no joy even after attaining a state for which Indra and all other demi-gods yearn for. 4.3 - He who has self-knowledge remains untouched by good and bad even internally, as the sky cannot be contaminated by the presence of smoke in it. 4.4 - Who can prevent a great man from living in the present as per his wish as he knows himself as this whole world. 4.5 - From Brahma down to the grass, in all four categories of living creatures, who else can give up desire and aversion except an enlightened man? 4.6 - It is very rare to know Self as One and Lord of the world, and he who knows this does not fear anyone or anything. Chapter 5: Ashtavakra does not disagree, but in a terse four verses points to the next step—dissolution. 5.1 - Ashtavakra says: You are not connected with anything. You are pure. What do you want to renounce? Dissolve this unreal connection and be one with Self. 5.2 - As bubbles rise in the sea, the world originates from non-dual Self. Know this and be one with Self. 5.3 - In spite of being visible from eyes, this world is unreal. You are immaculate and this world does not exist in you like an imagined snake in a rope. Know this and be one with Self. 5.4 - Know yourself equal in pleasure and pain, complete, equal in hope and disappointment, equal in life and death and eternal and be one with Self. Chapter 6: Janaka says “I know that already,” matching him in style and number of verses. 6.1 – Ashtavakra says - I am infinite like space, and this world is unimportant like a jar. This is wisdom. This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it. 6.2 - I am like a vast ocean and the visible world is like its waves. This is Knowledge. This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it. 6.3 - This world is imagined in me like silver in a sea-shell. This is Knowledge. This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it. 6.4 - I exist in everyone like everyone is in me. This is Knowledge. This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it. Chapter 7: Unable to leave it at that, however, Janaka goes on to further describe his enlightened state. 7.1 - King Janaka says: In Infinite Ocean of myself, world wanders here and there like a ship driven by its own wind. But it does not create turbulence in me. 7.2 - In infinite ocean of myself, world rises and vanishes naturally like a wave by 'Maya'. But it does not cause any growth or damage to me. 7.3 - In infinite ocean of myself, world exists like a dream. But I exist as supremely peaceful and formless. 7.4 - In that infinite and stainless state, there remains no feeling of 'I' or any other feeling. Like this I exist, unattached, devoid of desires and at peace. 7.5 - Surprise, I am pure consciousness and the world is like a magic. How can there be thoughts of useful and useless in me? Chapter 8: Still hearing too much “I” in Janaka’s language, Ashtavakra instructs him in the subtleties of attachment and bondage. 8.1 – Sri Ashtavakra says: There is bondage, as long as mind desires something, grieves about something, sacrifices something, accepts something, is pleased about something or is angry about something. 8.2 - Liberation is when mind does not desire, does not grieve, does not sacrifice, does not accept, is not pleased or get angry. 8.3 - There is bondage when mind is attracted towards any of the visible things and liberation is when mind is not attracted to anything visible. 8.4 - There is bondage, as long as there is feeling of 'I' and 'my' and liberation is when there is no feeling of 'I' and 'my'. Knowing this stay playful neither accepting nor sacrificing anything. Chapter 12: Janaka replies by describing the state of timeless stillness in which he now finds himself. 12.1 - Sri Janak says - First I developed indifference towards actions performed by body then I became indifferent to actions performed by speech. Now, I have become indifferent to all sorts of anxieties and stay as I am. 12.2 - Unattached to sound and other senses and knowing that Self is not an object of sight, I remain free of disturbances and focused as I am. 12.3 - Seeing the transitions between abnormal states of incorrect perception and the meditative states as a (natural) rule, I stay as I am. 12.4 - O seer of God, away from the feelings to store or to leave and without any pleasure or pain, I stay as I am. 12.5 - Looking at the various stages of life and their absence, rules accepted and prohibited by mind and such options, I stay as I am. 12.6 - Being aware of the ignorance in performing rituals and knowing the Truth properly, I stay as I am. 12.7 - While thinking about the Unthinkable, we ponder over our thoughts only. So abandoning that thought, I stay as I am. 12.8 - He who follows thus gets liberated. One whose nature is like this gets liberated. Chapter 13: Janaka, having been instructed by Ashtavakra in Chapter One to “be happy,” reports that he indeed is. 13.1 – Sri Janak says - The inherent quality of having nothing is hard to attain, even with just a loin-cloth. Hence I exist in pleasure at all times abandoning both the feelings of renunciation and acquisition. 13.2 – Actually, there exist no pain due to body, no pain due to speech, no pain due to mind. Abandoning all the efforts, I exist pleasantly in all situations. 13.3 – No action is ever committed, in reality. Understanding thus I exist pleasantly in all situations by just doing what is to be done. 13.4 – Yogis, attached with their bodies think in terms of doing or avoiding certain actions. This causes bondage. But I exist pleasantly in all situations abandoning the feelings of attachment and detachment. 13.5 – I, actually, incur no benefit or loss while taking rest, moving, sleeping, sitting, walking or dreaming. Hence I exist pleasantly in all situations. 13.6 – I lose nothing by sleeping and gain nothing by action or inaction. Hence I exist pleasantly in all situations abandoning the feelings of joy and sorrow. 13.7 – I understand by experience that pleasure and pain come and go again and again. Hence I exist pleasantly in all situations abandoning the feelings of auspicious (good) and inauspicious (bad). Chapter 14: Janaka then summarizes his exalted state with calm indifference. 14.1 – Sri Janaka says - He, who is thoughtless by nature and desires only very rarely becomes mostly free from the past memories as if a person from a dream when he wakes up. 14.2 – When I do not have any desires left, what will I do of wealth, friends, sensual satisfaction, scriptures or knowledge. 14.3 – Realizing the witness who is called God or Lord, I became indifferent to bondage or liberation and do not worry for my liberation. 14.4 – The state which is without desires within, and is carefree outwardly just like a mad man, can only be recognized by someone in the same enlightened state. Chapter 19: It works! Janaka no longer describes his enlightened state, but can speak only in questions revealing absence. 19.1 – King Janak says - Using the hook of self-knowledge, thorns of various opinions have extracted out from inside of heart by me. 19.2 – There are no righteousness and duty, no objective or discretion, no duality or non-duality for me, who is established in Self. 19.3 – There is no past, future or present, there is no space or time for me , who is established in Self. 19.4 – There is no self or non-self, nothing auspicious or evil, no thought or absence of them for me, who is established in Self. 19.5 – There are no states as dreams or sleep or waking. There is no fourth state 'Turiya' beyond these, and no fear for me , who is established in Self. 19.6 – There is nothing distant or near, nothing within or without, nothing large or subtle for me, who is established in Self. 19.7 – There is no life or death, not this world or any outer world, no annihilation or meditative state for me, who is established in Self. 19.8 – For me who has taken eternal refuge in Self, discussion on three goals of life is useless, discussion on yoga is useless, discussion on knowledge is useless. Chapter 20: In a final flurry of questions pointing only at their own meaninglessness, Janaka burns off the last vestiges of personhood and enters dissolution. He ends with: “No more can be said.” Ashtavakra smiles, nods approvingly, and says no more 20.1 – King Janak says: In stainless Self, there are no five matter-elements or body, no sense organs or mind, no emptiness or despair. 20.2 – For me who is ever free from dualism, there are no scriptures or self-knowledge, no attached mind, no satisfaction or desire-lessness. 20.3 – There is no knowledge or ignorance, no 'me', 'this' or 'mine', no bondage or liberation, and no characteristic of self-nature. 20.4 – In unchanging me, there is no fateful actions or liberation during life and no bodiless enlightenment. 20.5 – Without a nature, there is no doer or reaper of actions, no inaction or action, nothing visible or invisible. 20.6 – Established as non-dual reality, there is no world or desire for liberation, no yogi or seer, no-one bound or liberated. 20.7 – Established as non-dual reality, there is no creation or annihilation, what is to be achieved or what are the means, who is seeker and what is achievement. 20.8 – There is no knower or evidence, nothing knowable or knowledge, nothing less or non-less in forever pure Self. 20.9 – There is no distraction or focus, no right discrimination or delusion, no joy or sorrow in always action-less Self. 20.10 – There is not this world or the other, no happiness or suffering for Self, who is eternally free from thoughts. 20.11 – There is no Maya or world, no attachment or detachment, no living beings or that God for forever pure Self. 20.12 – For me who is forever unmovable and indivisible, established in Self, there is no tendency or renunciation, no liberation or bondage. 20.13 – There is no sermon or scripture, no disciple or guru, nothing is to be achieved forever blissful and non-special Self. 20.14 – There is no existence or non-existence, no non-duality or duality. What more is there to say? Nothing arises out of me. Reference:
