' Ashtavakra Samhita '...

He must not let the Ashtavakra Samhita be misunderstood.

It does not preach mystic idleness and indifference.

The world is there for both sage and student, and both must work and serve--the difference being mental only.

Illusionism is not the doctrine except as an intermediate stage towards truth, which is higher.

One must participate in God's work by assisting evolution and redeeming the world, not squat idly in peace alone.



-Paul Brunton
