Ashtavakra Gita 18.15 meaning
yena vishvam idam drishtam sa nasteeti karotu vai
nirvasanah kim kurute pashyann api na pashyati
येन विश्वमिदं दृष्टं स नास्तीति करोतु वै।
निर्वासनः किं कुरुते पश्यन्नपि न पश्यति॥
Let the one who has seen this world try to deny it. But what does one free of desire need to do? He sees, yet does not see.
What it means
Fighting the world or denying it is still a struggle. Without desire, you can look at everything without being hooked. Seeing happens, grabbing doesn't. Desire is the hook, not the world.हिंदी में अर्थ
जिसने यह संसार देखा है, वह भले उसे नकारने की कोशिश करे। पर इच्छा-रहित व्यक्ति क्या करे? वह देखते हुए भी नहीं देखता।
दुनिया से लड़ना या उसे नकारना भी संघर्ष है। इच्छा न हो, तो आप सब देख सकते हैं बिना फँसे। देखना होता है, झपटना नहीं।
