  2. God is the only truth and this worldly life is false unreal. Ornaments of gold may be different from each other in shape and size and outlook but only gold is real in all of them. Similarly only universal soul is eternal i!imperishable because our soul no more differ from universal soul as ornaments do not differ from gold.

  3. Everyone wants to know about itself and ashtavakra Gita really explains about the existence of a man and it tells the true identity of a man which provides the supreme bliss.
    Both the pleasure and pain are the the subject of mind nothing else why we search these pleasure and pains in outer world?
