Ashtavakra Gita Verse 2.25
मय्यनन्तमहाम्भोधावाश्चर्यं जीववीचयः। उद्यन्ति घ्नन्ति खेलन्ति प्रविशन्ति स्वभावतः॥२५॥
25. Wonderful! Marvellous! In Me, the limitless ocean, the waves of individual selves, according to their nature, rise, jostle about, play for a time and disappear.
The beauty of this lyrical verse, with which the chapter is concluding, can ring an echo for a long time in the bosom of the student even when he has shut the book and finished his studies.
It is not only the worlds that are rising in Me, the Consciousness, but all other living creatures are also born from the same Self in Me. In our dreams we all experience the same and on waking up, all the Creations of the dreaming mind get merged with our waking mind.
Just as in a dream, the individuals rise, fight their competitive existence, play their sensuous games and in the end each die away in the world, only to be born again, as another wave! When my mind is at rest, all names and forms must necessarily disappear into the Pure Consciousness, the Self.
End of Chapter-2
