    Steady Wisdom: 108 Verses On Changing My Thinking

    DAY 62

    I am infinite and pure, free from attachment and desire.  I am at peace.  Objects are illusory and they do not limit me in any way.
    -Ashtavakra Samhita 7:4
    Meditation

    Attachment and desire are but thoughts and feelings that periodically appear in my mind.  As a lamp is not limited by the objects it illuminates, I am not limited by the thoughts and feelings that are known to me. Therefore, when the mind is tainted by attachment and disturbed by desire, I remain pure and fully at peace.  OM.

    Steady Wisdom: 108 Verses On Changing My Thinking

    DAY 61

    I have no attributes or impurities; I am free of desire and action; I am the eternal, formless and changeless self; I am ever-free. 
    -Atma Bodha V. 35
    Meditation

    I am not the transient, ever changing forms referred to as “this body” and “this mind.”  Therefore I am not defined by their attributes; I am untainted by their impurities; I am unmoved by their desires; I am untouched by their actions.  Just as sand is not moistened by the water of a mirage, I am unaffected by the mirage of the body and mind.  I am ever-free…not that I was ever bound.  OM.

    Steady Wisdom: 108 Verses On Changing My Thinking

    DAY 60

    The universe is merely an illusion.  Of what interest can it be to me?  What reason is there to fear death? 
    -Ashtavakra Samhita 3:11
    Meditation

    The universe is unreal, seeing as it is in constant flux.  For how can something be real if it is one thing one moment and something else the next?  The body, being part and parcel of the ever-changing universe, is also unreal.  Therefore death is but an illusion.  Of what concern is it to me?  I am the unchanging, immortal self.  OM.

    Steady Wisdom: 108 Verses On Changing My Thinking

    DAY 59

    I am free from impurity.  I am immovable and infinite.  I was not born, not will I decay or die.  I am immortal. 
    -Aparokshanubhuti V.28
    Meditation

    I am infinite, for there is nowhere that existence does not exist.  Because I am infinite, I cannot go anywhere—I am the immovable reality that exists at all places and at all times.  I alone exist so there is nothing external to me that can taint me.  What exists by definition must always exist, can never not exist and can never change.  So I was not born, I do not decay and I do not die.  I am immortal.  OM.

    DAY 58

    I am the non-dual and indestructible self.  Everything is me so there is no reason to feel attached to acquisition. 
    -Ashtavakra Samhita 3:1
    Meditation

    I alone exist.  Since there is only myself, what can I acquire?  I am the one changeless, indestructible reality.  What can I fear to lose?  OM.
