This document contains a dialogue between a seeker (King Janak) and a seer (Sage Ashtavkr) about realizing one's true identity and attaining everlasting peace. The seer explains to the seeker that one's true identity is as the formless witness or awareness that underlies experience. Through various analogies and examples, the seer helps the seeker understand that they are not the body or mind, but the unattached awareness in which the world appears. The goal is to realize this and dissolve any sense of individual identity into the infinite self or awareness. Over multiple chapters, the seeker's understanding grows as misconceptions are cleared away.
This small book is my humble attempt to translate a wonderful dialogue written originally in Sanskrit. This dialogue happened between a seeker - king Janak and a seer - sage Ashtavakra. It answers and solves many of our deep questions problems of life like identity crisis, sustainable peace, dilemmas, dualities of opposites like good bad, happy sad, success failure. I hope this will help you in more than one ways in realizing your true identity and ever lasting peace. It has certainly helped me in regaining my Self.
