: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaSphūrtimātra (स्फूर्तिमात्�) refers to “becoming pure receptivity� (after realizing the illusory nature of the world�ś), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Realising, ‘I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am awareness�, one attains the supreme state and no longer remembers things done or undone. Realising, ‘It is just me, from Brahma down to the last clump of grass�, one becomes free from uncertainty, pure, at peace and unconcerned about what has been attained or not. Realising that all this varied and wonderful world is nothing, one becomes pure receptivity (ūپٰ), free from inclinations, and as if nothing existed, one finds peace [nirvāsana� sphūrtimātro na kiñcidiva śāmyati�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
