Astávakra said:

You are pure.
Nothing touches you.
What is there to renounce?
Let it all go,
dissolve the complexity of
the body and the mind,
and attain state of dissolution. (*) 5.1

    Note:   the complexity of
    the body, mind, egoism and senses
    is one of wonder, and
    can take control of the person.

Know the Self the source of all,
and like bubbles in the sea
All the worlds arise in you.
reflecting in this way attain dissolution. 5.2

The illusion of the snake on the rope is as
the universe taking place on your senses,
visible though unsubstantial to you pure Self,
thus verily the state of dissolution attain. 5.3

To you perfect One to whom misery and
happiness are the same, hope and despair are
not different, life and death the same being.
surely the state of dissolution attain 5.4

V  Dissolution.
