Ashtavakra Gita is full of knowledge. Through this you understand what life is. How to get rid of this fleeting life? How to know your soul Ashtavakra Gita tells us that we are souls and not bodies. Blessed is the land of Bharat, who gave a great sage and philosopher like Ashtavakra to India and the whole world. People should remain indebted to India for this great personality.
🙏🕉🙏 Beautifully said. The Astavakra Gita is probably the most humbling answer to the most important and pivotal query asked in the whole of the Great Bhagavad Gita; Oh my Dear Lord, how am I to understand who I am? Please be merciful and tell me for my existence rests only on this knowledge and surrendered devotional practice. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8.
True that. One of the great, timeless gems of the ancient Indian civilization. Deep gratitude to realised souls such as Phil Philms and Bart Marshall, among many others who have helped us meet our own Indic echoes.
John Levy gave me this book in London 1972. In PURE AWARENESS there is no diversity whatsoever... Your every thought is trance...a spell...brought upon Awareness...which is Peace Itself... Identify That as the only unmoving Reality...Changeless and beyond life and death.
My brother, i was thinking the same thing. There was something a youtiber had sad that atuck with me. "The true God isnt mentioned in any ancient or holy scriptures." I suppsoe he has never read this one, because here it all is
@@alexandraonai8187 actually he was right. No description of the truth/God is the truth/God itself. The finger pointing to the moon is not the moon...
Sorry, but I have to disagree. In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna tells Arjuna, that we are all His eternal fragmental parts. Maybe Astakavakra leaned to the unpersonal truth. It is not very encouraging to forget all about yourself, the illusioned part of course, but not the real self, which is only covered by Maya.
You don't need a God to find yourself. The wisdom of the mind and heart are sufficient. By creating this thing called GOD, we began the process of detatching our intelligence from Nature.
We are God. Go has always been within, and the religions in an effort to control the masses and cause division, made the religious believe that God was something outside of them.
I simply loved the beauty and clear simplicity of the expression of Truth. It out me in a state of tranquil joy. And the reader was eloquent with the perfect tempo that I could both appreciate and digest this teaching from the Self. Thank you for this gift.

It's a slippery path because one can end up actually bettering one's life without switching to Bhakti- Love and prayer for the Personal form of this Ultimate of truths of which does not end when this scripture ends. For such truth was there no beginning, even Astavakra Git's consclusion can begin to define this truths end. 🙏🙏🙏

“The sage sees no difference between happiness and misery, Man and woman, Adversity and success. Everything is seen to be the same.” This is my favourite quote and in my opinion, sums up nonduality in one sentence 😊
There is nothing to implement. No matter where you are, who you think you are, whether you believe or not. You don't have a choice. You are Parabramhan, the one beyond consciousness. We are 4 layers deep. Body/mind/consciousness/Awareness or Parabramhan. Observe your thoughts. Then observe the one observing the thoughts and you realize you can't and that is you.
To be free shunn the experience of separations basis ( strengthening individuality) as poison and drink Truth, forgiveness, straightforwardness and compassion like nectar. This is the key of whole book in 2nd verse. Thanks for uploading. 🙏🙇♂️🕉️
Wow, inspired, poetic, rhythmic recital of the text. Just as mesmerizing and magical as I am sure it was intended to be when recited from memory throughout the ages in intimate gatherings around the sacred fire under a billion stars -- or whistling through the empty heads of wise men perched in solitude on the tops of wind-swept mountain peaks.. Bravo.
This is an exquisite reading of an exquisite text. It's my favourite audiobook of all time. You ought to read more of the amazing spiritual texts, sir! What about Ramana Maharshi? This was one of his favourite texts too.
You are the Absolute appearing as boddisatva, both following the light and leading 'others' to it. You share this so long; N. smiling from the infinite bliss at your sreams and play.
Abide in awareness, let go of the veil, That shrouds our true nature, the grand cosmic tale. Embrace the vast consciousness, eternal and free, Beyond the illusion of “you” and “me.” The ego dissolves, as we venture within, Discovering the truth that has always been, A presence unbounded, both endless and still, A unity profound, a deep-rooted thrill. No person or limits shall cage our true light, We are boundless awareness in perpetual flight, The dance of the cosmos, the whispers of stars, The echoes of infinity that bridge near and far. In the stillness of being, we find our true home, A sanctuary within, where illusions dethrone, Abiding in the essence, forever aware, We transcend the mirage of the ego’s despair.
If I am the self, and the self is Brahma, how can I say that I know Brahma, or how can I say I know not the self? If I am the one who is almighty, then how do I offer the one almighty praise? I ask not any attainment for myself, only for manifestation for those who have little, and children who have not food in their bellies. I have the self, that is enough for me.

sometimes the pressures of the world, from money and duties make me want to renounce everything out of sorrow... This music and audiobook gives me the much-needed break from outside life to recenter around myself... Theres so much chaos around us that are manufactured, we need to purrify out emotions thoughts and reclaim out true selves... I send positive energy to whomever reads this. Life is beautiful, we should be grateful for the most basic things around us. ♥️♥️♥️🙌💪💪
Very good. I would advise that anyone who wishes to realize this ever-blessed state needs to do more than try to understand this scripture . Only by uniting the consciousness with the primordial Unstruck Sound ,the Anahad Naad , the Sat Shabd the Cosmic Vibration, the audible life stream ,the celestial melody , the voice of the silence .etc.etc can go beyond the mind and senses and realize their true identity as pure Spirit . it doesn't happen automatically without finding a Genuine enlightened Master ,A Sat Guru to impart this timeless method known as Surat Shabd yoga or the Quan yin method which puts emphasis on the contemplating this primordial music which is the Sound of the True Self . Good luck to all seekers
I whole heartedly disagree. The belief you need to do something is bondage. You have always been awareness, you don't have to try to be in the state, it is the original state. The more you seek the farther you drift. End seeking, come to realization.
yes but to do nothing you need to know how not to do . and that's why it's essential to meditate ot the mind will not reach complete stillness @@user-qb4on2qm7z
Such a beautiful text. Philip bravo, you voice is just perfect for these readings :) Is it possible to get your recordings of the "I am that" series in mp3 form?
Sorry, I don’t have them. But you can always use one of the free websites to transform my videos into mp3s. It’s fast and free and no copyright issues ✌️
If I am that, I'm not allowed to know it now. Been on the path my whole adult life to wake up to it but still feel imprisoned in a horrible PTSD kind of life. Had glimpses but generally it's just a concept for me still
This is the most simple but yet the most potent & effective mantra I have ever applied to my daily life & have transformed all of my being beyond words from applying this on a daily..surrender to self mantra I AM HERE I AM READY I AM OPEN GUIDE ME x4 😉

This is among the holiest of scriptures. Aligns perfectly with the words of Jesus and Buddha.
My brother, i was thinking the same thing. There was something a youtiber had sad that atuck with me. "The true God isnt mentioned in any ancient or holy scriptures." I suppsoe he has never read this one, because here it all is
Buddha was Awakened. Jesus had no concept of Awakening. This scripture belongs to a Dharmic Religion.

We see a difference in people getting killed for nothing so.
Like WW2
A great Gita. It is very clear about the courage needed to become enlightened. And so much more (the rewards of true insight)
Easy to listen to, difficult to implement in life. The wisdom in the Ashtavakra Gita is timeless.
Not difficult to implement, you lack the courage, why though, you are a dead man anyway.
Dont try..Just be
Just dance

Abide in awareness, let go of the veil,
That shrouds our true nature, the grand cosmic tale.
Embrace the vast consciousness, eternal and free,
Beyond the illusion of “you” and “me.”
The ego dissolves, as we venture within,
Discovering the truth that has always been,
A presence unbounded, both endless and still,
A unity profound, a deep-rooted thrill.
No person or limits shall cage our true light,
We are boundless awareness in perpetual flight,
The dance of the cosmos, the whispers of stars,
The echoes of infinity that bridge near and far.
In the stillness of being, we find our true home,
A sanctuary within, where illusions dethrone,
Abiding in the essence, forever aware,
We transcend the mirage of the ego’s despair.
