Change of states like presence (visibility, birth) and absence (invisibility, death) occur naturally. One who knows it with definiteness becomes free from defects, free from pain and attains peace easily.॥1॥

अष्टावक्र उवाच -

भावाभावविकारश्च 

स्वभावादिति निश्चयी।

निर्विकारो गतक्लेशः 

सुखेनैवोपशाम्यति॥११- १॥

श्री अष्टावक्र कहते हैं - भाव(सृष्टि, स्थिति) और अभाव(प्रलय, मृत्यु) रूपी विकार स्वाभाविक हैं, ऐसा निश्चित रूप से जानने वाला विकाररहित, दुखरहित होकर सुख पूर्वक शांति को प्राप्त हो जाता है॥१॥

Sri Ashtavakra says - Change of states like presence (visibility, birth) and absence (invisibility, death) occur naturally. One who knows it with definiteness becomes free from defects, free from pain and attains peace easily.॥1॥
