Ashtavakra had said, Vigata jwara. They are very precious words. Just two words - vigatat jwara. And now he says - prakrteh parah. That is the skill of a Master. He mentions both the opposites and keeps you in the middle; in the right place. He gives a blow from one side and then from the other side. So there is nowhere for you to escape, but to be where you ought to be. There is nothing that you can do.
Vigatat jwara and then prakrteh parah. Prakrteh parah - that you are beyond the prakriti, the nature and the qualities. How much can you purify? However,you go on purifying yourself. This is what the Buddhists, Zen Buddhists, meditators, and other people who are so stuck in yoga do. They go on purifying themselves. How long can you go on doing that?
People take up six months silence. They do five years or twenty years of sadhana. What have they really done? They have sat with their eyes closed - observing, watching, purifying and refining. And then, suddenly something happens, and all the refinement is all blown up in the air! Once again the same jealousy, anger, hatred, everything comes up. And they feel the purifying process should be done again. A time will come when they will be fed up because the process does not end, it is an endless process. If you start a club of frustrated people, many people will join! It will be overflowing with membership! Club of frustrated people!
Maybe, this might happen even in ashrams! All spiritual movements should also have a frustration club for frustrated people on the spiritual path. There will be a very big movement!
Prakrteh parah, you are beyond this prakriti, you are beyond this body, and you are beyond this nature. You are beyond all this vata, pitta, kapha. Prakarteh parah. श्रद्धस्व तात श्रद्धस्व । In that nature of yours, jnana-svarupo, you are the manifest knowledge. You are knowledge. You are awareness; you are Bhagavan; you are God. You are the Divine.
And those words of Ashtavakra penetrated. Only one who is that, can bring this knowledge. Ashtavakra can never sink into us by reading and learning. Someone may just read books. Libraries are filled with books. Many scholars have read and could not make head or tail out of Ashtavakra. श्रद्धस्व तात श्रद्धस्व, have faith.
