Transcreating Ashtavakra 10.1-5: what else could you desire?

Desire is your greatest opposition. Wealth brings great misfortune. Good deeds cause both. Abandon all of it. It's none of your business.

See it like a dream within a days-long sleep: companions, property, capital, residence, significant other, and all which you prize.

Wherever there's desire, there's the world. Take refuge in detachment. Be happy.

Our captivity consists of desire. Our freedom rests in its deconstruction. Detaching from the world attains perennial joy.

You are that one pure consciousness. This phenomenal universe is a lifeless illusion. Your ignorance of that is also illusion. What else could you desire to know?
