Ashtavakra Gita insists on the complete unreality of external world and absolute oneness of existence. It offers a radical version of non-dualistic philosophy. It does not mention any morality or duties, and therefore is seen by commentators as ‘godless’. It also dismisses names and forms as unreal and a sign of ignorance.
