I am forever pure. What do I care who knows, What is known, Or how it is known? What do I care for knowledge? What do I care what is, Or what is not? I am forever still. What are joy or sorrow, Distraction or concentration, Understanding or delusion? -Ashtavakra Gita 20:8-9 From "The Heart of Awareness: A Translation of the Ashtavakra Gita," by Thomas Byrom, 1990.
