Steady Wisdom: 108 Days of Changing My Thinking
DAY 5
I have no family, lineage or social status. I am not perceived by the senses. I am the unattached and formless witness of all.
-Ashtavakra Samhita 1:5
Meditation
Family, lineage and social status pertain to the body alone. They do not pertain to me, the witness of the body. In truth there is no body—there is only me, non-dual existence. So to whom can I be related? From whom can I descend? To what class of society can I belong? To what can I be attached? Unlike the body, I am not an object of the senses—therefore I have no form. Having no form I am free of all qualities, all descriptions and all classifications. This means I cannot be defined or limited in any way.
