ईश्वरः सर्वनिर्माता नेहान्य इति निश्चयी ।

अन्तर्गलितसर्वाशः शान्तः क्वापि न सज्जते ॥

Everything is done by God, including the managing of your body, the way your heart beats. Even its maintenance is done by God. The power behind the beating of your heart, is God. If you had control over your heartbeat, nobody would die! Who would want to die? Even an old woman of ninety-nine, or a man of one hundred and ten does not want to die. Everybody wants to live on and on. But it's not in your control! Your heart does not ask for your permission to beat. Your breath does not flow by your willingness or unwillingness. The growth and decay of your veins, your brains and every cell in your body is happening by itself! And how can we not see this? Everything in the body happens by itself. Everything in the Creation happens by itself. The flowers are blossoming - the leaves are becoming green and the petals are becoming colourful. The whole creation is progressing!

The sun rises and sets. How can one be so blind as to not see an unseen hand behind this whole creation? Who is managing it? Even children are curious about things like who makes the sun go round. ईश्वरः सर्वनिर्माता नेहान्य इति निश्चयी । There is nothing other than God. Be very firm about this! Open your eyes and see. You think you are in control of a situation. What are you in control of? What situation? Where are you? Everything is happening, and you are in God. God is all that 'is'. ईश्वरः सर्वनिर्माता । Everything is done by God. There is nothing other than Him. 

Feelings, lack of feelings, distorted feelings, or negative feelings by their very nature. Earlier, we spoke about the three natures of vata, pitta and kapha, about sattva, rajas and tamas, and then about the five elements: earth, water, air, fire and water. These elements rise and fall and, so, different moods rise and fall in you. This is its very nature. Beyond this, become a witness to it all and rest peacefully; repose in your Self.

Ashtavakra so beautifully tells Janaka to cool down. He further told him that he had run enough behind this and that, good, bad, right or wrong. It was enough. He just needed to rest. Ashtavakra is a revolution. After Krishna, only Ashtavakra has asked to drop even the dharma and relax. (Krishna had also told Arjuna to drop dharma and to take refuge in Him. That He was there for him).

Ashtavakra said the same. ईश्वरः सर्वनिर्माता। He said that everything is being done by Ishwara,by the Lord, by Divinity. नेहान्य इति निश्चयी । There's no-one other than Him.
