Why is it imperative to eliminate worldly attachments? We often hear from great philosophers, gurus, and in the great texts, that attachment itself is an obstacle on the spiritual path, especially the attachment we have to our pain and pleasure. The ancient text of the Ashtavakara Gita explores the importance of transcending worldly attachments. The text conveys the beauty, depth, and simplicity of the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the most influential of the Hindu dharmic systems. The Ashtavakra Gita is one of a few texts that is serious about going beyond everything, including the existence of the ego, to the other shore of the clear space of awareness where Atman is truly Brahman.
