Yoga Vasishtha

योगवासिष्ठ

(Yoga Vāsiṣṭha)

The Yoga Vasistha Maharamayana (~32,000 verses, 6 Prakaranas) — the most philosophically sophisticated non-dual text in Sanskrit. Sage Vasistha instructs Prince Rama through vivid narrative parables: teaching that the world is consciousness projecting itself, and that jivan-mukti (liberation while living) is attainable through self-enquiry (vichara) and the dissolution of vasanas.
