Is the Ashtavakra Gita the deepest of all of 'though' because it rejects existence & thought itself ? From the Ashtavakra Gita: 16.1 You can recite and discuss scripture all you want, but until you are willing to forget everything, you will never know Truth. 16.4 The master idler, to whom even blinking is a bother, is happy.
