Central Communication: Guru Astavakra tells disciple Janaka that the reality of Inner self is not far away or limited that can be attainted. It is devoid of thoughts, devoid of efforts, devoid of motion and action and devoid of being ness.  It is devoid of thoughts and lack of spiritual knowledge of nature essence as it is beyond senses of mind. It is effortless, as it has nothing to exert for and is ever truly tranquil, calm, serene and quiet. It is motionless and action less as it is beyond all characteristics of cosmic laws, subtlest nature essence, subtle nature essence and matter nature essence of universe. It is beyond sense objects, which are attainable. It is unimaginable, effortless, unchanging and spotless.

The inner self is the real self in being ness, so already attained fully that it cannot be attained more. So it is neither for away, limited and attainable. It is only one non-dual and to attain anything the independence existence of duality is required.
