Avadhoota Gita - 3

Sage Dattatreya

Chapter 3

15. I have never any action which is the cause of regret and misery. Mine is never a mind which is the product of misery. Since egoism never is mine. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

16. I am the death of the movement of the unmoving One. I am neither decision nor indecision. I am the death of sleep and wakefulness. I am neither good nor evil, neither moving nor unmoving, I am neither substance nor insubstantial. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

17. This self, knowable nor the instrument of knowing. It is neither reason nor the one to be reasoned about. It is beyond the reach of words. It is neither mind nor intelligence. How can I speak this truth to you? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

18. The supreme Reality is devoid of the undivided and the divided. The supreme truth is in no way within or without. It is beyond causation. It is not attached - nor is it any substance. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

19. I am verily the reality - free of such blemishes as attachment. I am verily the reality - free of the grief caused by transmigratory existence. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

20. If there are no three planes of existence - how can there be a fourth? If there are no three times - how can there be quarters? The Supreme reality is the state of the highest serenity. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

21. I have no such divisions as long or short. I have no such divisions as wide or narrow. I have no such divisions as angular or circular. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

22. I never had a mother, Father, Son or the like. I was never born and never did I die. I never had a mind. The supreme reality is undistracted and calm. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. 

23. I am pure, very pure - beyond reason and of infinite form. I am non-attachment and attachment - beyond reason and of infinite form. I am undivided and divided - beyond reason and of infinite form. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky.
