If you detach yourself from the body and rest in consciousness, you immediately become happy, peaceful and free from bondage.

Neither bondage nor liberation quiver inside me. I am calm, needing no refuge.
Janki Parikh • Ashtavakra Gita
In the great infinite ocean of my Self, the wave of the universe naturally rises and falls, but does not cause any increase or decrease in me.
Janki Parikh • Ashtavakra Gita
You are unattached, formless, and the witness of all things. Therefore, be happy.
Janki Parikh • Ashtavakra Gita
Indeed, I do not see duality even in a crowd of people,
Janki Parikh • Ashtavakra Gita
He is not pleased when he is worshipped, and is not enraged when he is demeaned. Neither does he grieve in death, nor is he congratulatory in life.
Janki Parikh • Ashtavakra Gita
am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am not this life, I am only consciousness. My only bondage is the thirst for life.
Janki Parikh • Ashtavakra Gita
All beings exist in the Self and the Self exists in all beings. Knowing this, be without ego, be indifferent, and be happy.
