‘What is Creation or Dissolution?
What is seeking And the end of seeking?
Who is the seeker?
And what has he found?
What is Freedom or Bondage?
What are holy books or teachings?
Who is the Disciple?
And who is the Master?
For I have no bounds I am Shiva
Nothing arises in Me, Nothing is, Nothing is not,
What more is there to say?’
Aṣṭāvakra Gita
Selected Verses
Translation by Thomas Byrom
Aṣṭāvakra: the Poet baring ‘Eight Bends’. According to legend he is reputed to have lived and studied alongside Svetaketu, the son of Uddalaka who is part of our story. The poem as translated is in fact of much later origin [post 10th Century] mixing various schools including early Buddhist and later Vedanthic views in its verses.
