In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaAsaha (अस�) refers to “being averse� (to physical activity, lengthy speech, thinking), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “First of all I was averse to physical activity (ⲹṛtⲹ-), then to lengthy speech (岵ٲ-), and finally to thinking itself (Գ-), which is why I am now established. In the absence of delight in sound and the other senses, and by the fact that I am myself not an object of the senses, my mind is focused and free from distraction - which is why I am now established. Owing to the distraction of such things as wrong identification, one is driven to strive for mental stillness. Recognising this pattern I am now established. [...]�.
