विश्वं स्फुरति यत्रेदं तरंगा इव सागरे ।

तत्त्वमेव न सन्देहश्चिन्मूर्ते विज्वरो भव ॥

This is such a precious statement. Have you ever seen yourself as a life, not just as somebody? You never put thoughts on you. You are always thinking about your circumstances. Even if you think about yourself, you think in terms of what others think about you. You think about yourself in terms of others. What is your relationship to yourself? Throw everything out for five minutes. Just for five minutes; even five seconds will do! What are you? Who are you? What do you want? I am life. Have you experienced that life burning in this body, in your very body?

तत्त्वमेव न सन्देहश्चिन्मूर्ते विज्वरो भव ॥ Ashtavakra says that you are a live bliss. You are a lively consciousness. You are a glowing light. Why do you doubt this? Many of you doubt yourself when you experience this. You wonder if it is real; or if you are turning into psychotic. You feel that you are only consciousness. Every bit of your body is so alive. You feel you are energy. But you wonder if it is real. We doubt this experience that we had in the depth of our meditation even if it was for a few minutes, now and then. And we believe this dull, inert state of body that we experience most of the time to be ourself. We identify with this.

Janaka had had the glimpse already. That's why Ashtavakra tells Janaka that, without doubt, what Janaka knew was right. He authenticiates it, 'Yes, you are right. You have felt the presence. Yes, you are right.' You are present everywhere. You have felt the presence of Being. 'I am present everywhere.' You are glowing consciousness; you are light. Chinmurte. This body is full of bliss and consciousness. 

विज्वरो भव । Be without feverishness. This is very important. विज्वरो भव । Be devoid of feverishness. Feverishness is what destroys the knowledge in you. It clouds your awareness, consciousness and joy. You had that experience and now you want to have that experience repeatedly. That feverishness itself becomes an obstruction. What makes you intolerable in the world is feverishness. If you sit for a few minutes with someone who is feverish for something, you begin to feel an aversion. Many times you feel an aversion for people without knowing the reason. It is the feverishness in them that pushes you away, pushes you out. When you are devoid of feverishness, all things flow to you without your asking for them. Before the need arises, all is supplied. This is the secret. विज्वरो भव । If any blessing has to be given, this is the one that has to be given - May you be devoid of feverishness.

You may also feel feverish for God or God-realisation. Ashtavakra says, just relax, cool down, and leave that also in the hands of Divine. If He wants to come,let Him come. You are ready. Let God's will be done.
