Ashtavakra Gita 15.15 meaning
ayam soham ayamnaham vibhagam iti santyaja
sarvam atm-eti nishchitya nihsankalpah sukhee bhava
अयं सोऽहमयम्नाहं विभागमिति संत्यज।
सर्वमात्मेति निश्चित्य निःसंकल्पः सुखी भव॥
Drop dividing things into 'this is me' and 'this is not me.' Knowing for sure that everything is the Self, free of plans and worries, be happy.
What it means
We constantly draw lines: mine and not mine, us and them. Loosening those lines doesn't erase your individuality; it just removes the constant defensiveness. Try it for one day and notice how much lighter you feel.हिंदी में अर्थ
'यह मैं हूँ, यह मैं नहीं' — यह बँटवारा छोड़ दो। सब आत्मा ही है, यह पक्का जानकर संकल्पों से मुक्त होकर सुखी रहो।
हम लगातार रेखाएँ खींचते हैं: मेरा-तेरा, हम-वे। इन्हें ढीला करने से आपकी पहचान नहीं मिटती, बस हर वक्त का बचाव छूट जाता है।
