Ashtavakra Gita
The world is a river; use it to cross it||Acharya Prashant,on Jesus Christ and Sage Ashtavakra(2017)
Acharya Prashant: Two excerpts are with us.
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.”
BIBLE
(JOHN 2:15)
“Prosperity, pleasure, pious deeds. Enough! In the dreary forest of the world, the mind finds no rest.”
ASHTAVAKRA GITA
(CHAPTER 10: VERSE 7)
The questioner says that he is astounded at the commonality between Jesus and Ashtavakra and asks why are both saying that engaging in the world will not be a way to peace. What does it mean to engage in the world?
