Inspirational quotes from the Ribhu Gita, an advaita, non-dual, Hindu sacred text

“In Truth, there is no creation and no destruction, there is no instructed and no instructor, there is no bondage and no liberation, there is no one bound, no one striving for liberation, and no one liberated, there is no duality or unreality and no destruction of unreality. Truth alone is; the Self alone exists.”

(Introduction to the) Ribhu Gita, p xlvii

“Your true nature is always the undivided, nondual Brahman,

Which is a mass of Being-Consciousness-Bliss,

Motionless, ancient, still,

Eternal, without attributes,

Without confusion, without sheaths,

Without parts, without impurity,

Completely free from any illusion of duality,

Full, peerless, and the One.”

Ribhu Gita, p32

“Only those who, by relentless inquiry, attain

The doubtless Realization that they are all,

Of the nature of the one…

Will be fully rid of the dreadful bondage of birth

And will become of the nature of the impeccable…

the limitless form of the God of gods in a state of joyous dance that authoritatively proclaims

That you are eternal, attributeless Being…”

Ribhu Gita, p48

“I am, indeed, the Supreme Brahman, which is Absolute Liberation.

I am, indeed, the Supreme Brahman, which is absolutely blemishless.

I am, indeed, the Supreme Brahman, which is absolutely without connections.

I am, indeed, the Supreme Brahman, which is absolutely without movement.

I am, indeed, the Supreme Brahman, which is absolutely divisionless.”

Ribhu Gita, p23
