Ashtavakra Gita: Peace

Ashtavakra said:

18.26

The liberated one
acts without claiming to be acting,
but he is no fool.
He is blessed and happy
even though in the world.

18.27

Having had enough
of the endless workings of the mind,
the wise one comes to rest.
He neither thinks, nor knows,
nor hears, nor sees.

18.28

Beyond stillness,
beyond distraction,
the great soul thinks nothing
of liberation or bondage.
Having seen the universe is void--
even though it seems to exist--
he is God.

18.29

He who believes he is a person
is constantly acting,
even when the body is at rest.
The sage knows he is not a person,
and therefore does nothing,
even when the body is in motion.

18.30

The mind of the liberated one
is neither troubled nor pleased.
It is actionless, motionless, desireles
