Liberation - Ashtavakra

"Wait & watch" - this is the mantra I have been following for the past few months. I have just postponed to take the decision because of conflicting opinions. Either the decision turns out to be "Yes" or "No" my future would be different. Both futures would have their own positives and negatives. And I am in no way can decide which is the better future. Then why is this struggle for?

I had a lot of arguments with in me whether to take the final decision or not. As the saying goes "Being in the state of Indecision is nothing but to be idle", it means I am doing nothing. To liberate from this indecision and inaction I started knowing about liberation. Ashtavakra Gita, a discourse from Ashtavakra to his disciple King Janaka, provides a solution to my struggle.

Ashtavakra says, "Liberation is when the mind does not long for anything, grieve about anything, reject anything, or hold on to anything, and is not pleased about anything or displeased about anything".

This knowledge is nothing but everything. Finally, is there anything in it?
