The Ashtavakra Gita (Sanskrit) is a classical Advaita Vedanta scripture.
Ashtavakra Gita is a dialogue between Ashtavakra and Janaka on the nature of
soul, reality and bondage.
It offers a radical version of non-dualistic philosophy.
The Gita insists on complete unreality of external world and absolute oneness of
existence.
It does not mention any morality or duties, and therefore is seen by commentators as
'godless'.
The ignorant man's vision is shrouded by names and forms but a wise man sees only
himself.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtavakra_Gita
