Seer Ashtavakra explains further:
Presence and absence of things happen
as per their nature;
Knowing this certainty,
the thoughtless and unagitated person
easily becomes peaceful. 11.1
This whole world is made up of Energy
only and nothing else;
Knowing this certainty one drops all
hopes
and having become peaceful
does not get lost in anything. 11.2
Troubles and Fortunes come on their own
Knowing this certainty, a satisfied and
healthy person
Neither wants anything nor worries
about anything.11.3
Pains and pleasures, birth and death come
on their own
Knowing this certainty, the targetless
and relaxed person
Does not get attached to the things he
is doing. 11.4
Worries breed troubles nothing else
Understanding this certainty, a
worryless and cool person
Does not run after anything. 11.5
I am neither this body nor this body is
mine
I am just awareness, bodh, hosh;
Realising this certainty, one becomes
free, mukt
Then one does not remember
whatever is done or not done. 11.6
From a blade of grass to the Creator,
God
I exist everywhere, always;
Knower of this certainty becomes
choiceless, pure and peaceful
and gets rid of what he got or what he
did not. 11.7
This world of countless wonders is
actually nothing in itself;
Realising this certainty one becomes
desireless and spontaneous
and being desireless he attains peace.
11.8
