That which is beyond experience | Ashtavakra Gita [no music version]

A verse-by-verse contemplation of a chapter from the Ashtavakra Gita. The pointing is direct: until you drop everything, you will never know Truth; until you know nothing, you will never know Self. Each verse turns back to the listener's own recognition — what remains standing across every state, that which is beyond all experience, this self-evident fact of being aware. 0:00 The Ashtavakra Gita: Special Instruction 3:28 Until you drop everything 4:01 What remains standing? 4:22 You will yearn for That which is beyond all experience 4:38 Awakening, forgetting, in bliss, in sorrow 5:10 Where do You stand? 5:34 Everyone is miserable because they exert constant effort 6:24 Can you drop the effort for a moment? 7:10 Not a thing, not an entity — That which is beyond experience 7:40 The master idler 8:20 When the mind becomes inactive, when sleep approaches 8:42 The bliss of sleep seeping into this world of experience 9:37 The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences 10:01 Now flowing into Now 10:53 Neither accepting nor rejecting 11:17 Being That which is beyond experience 12:10 When the mind is ruled by likes and dislikes — there is a world 12:37 The cause of the sense of being a separate self 13:16 Cut through likes and dislikes with the sword of Truth 13:38 No separate world and no separate you 14:16 Renouncing the world was only to recognize Reality 14:42 Can this State which underlies all states require the renunciation of any state? 15:28 Whatever can be attained can also be lost 15:56 Enlightenment is the direct recognition that you are not a person 16:18 You are this Absolute No-thing 16:57 Until you know nothing, you will never know Self Live Satsangs are free to join.
