The Ashtavakra Gita Has One Thing to Tell Every Person Who Has Spent Years on Self-Improvement

The question King Janaka asked

The Ashtavakra Gita begins with a king who has everything and still cannot rest. In the very first verse, Janaka asks Ashtavakra how liberation is attained, how knowledge arises, and how renunciation is achieved. Three questions. All of them reasonable. All of them, as it turns out, slightly wrong.
