This is a reading for meditation of core couplets from the Yoga Vasistha Sara (Essence).  The Yoga Vasishta is a work of about 32,000 Sanskrit couplets, traditionally attributed to Valmiki, the author of Srimad Ramayana. It is a dialogue between Sage Vasishta and Sri Rama, during which Advaita (the doctrine of non-duality) in its pure form of ajatavada (theory of non-origination) is expounded, with illustrative stories in between.   Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi used to refer to Yoga Vasishta frequently and incorporated six couplets from it in His Supplement to Forty Verses (verses 21 to 27).
