Whoever realizes ‘I am not the body, nor have I the body. I am Consciousness alone’ does not remember anything done or not done, as if he has attained singularness, kaivalya.
While seeing the world, do you feel you are the world? Likewise, seeing the body, do you become the body? Even when you look at the world, it does not become your world. Likewise, the body is also not yours. World is a perception in your mind. Your body also is just an inner perception.
What are you then, to be alone, not have anything at all? As pointed right at the outset (Ashtavakra 1.3 ), you are Consciousness, which alone has the power to witness, cognize. As witness, you are alone, singular, with no connection or attachment to anything.
Once this fact is understood, all your problems and affliction dissolve for ever. Unless something besides you is there, you cannot have interaction. Nor will anything have anything to do with you. It is a state of full singularness, absoluteness, ultimateness.
What will you remember then, how and why? When oneself alone exists, where is the question of ‘remembering’ at all? One can remember only a second factor or entity. Remember is a transitive verb and needs an object. There being no object, remembering becomes irrelevant!
Thus, the Knower remembers not anything as done or not done. Does the river remember anything or goes on flowing? Is the sun remembering anything to shine incessantly? It is all experiencing, realizing. The process is total, wholesome and absolute!
