You are not the body, which is composed of the five elements—Earth, water, fire, air and ether. Consider yourself liberated, when you know yourself as consisting of consciousness, the witness of these.
Know this and be happy. You are not in any of the four stages of life or caste. You are not perceived by the eyes or other senses. Unattached and without form, you are the witness of the whole universe. Know this and be happy.
You are the one observer of all, and in reality, always free. Your bondage is this: you see the other–not yourself–as the observer.
Ashtavakra Gita
