Avadhoota Gita-5

Sage Dattatreya

1. The word Om is like the sky, it is not the discernment of the essence of high or low. How can there be enunciation of the point of the word Om which annuls the manifestation of the unmanifest?

2. The srutis - such as "That thou art" prove to thee thou art indeed "That" devoid of adjuncts and the same in all. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

3. If thou art identity in all, if thou art devoid of above and below, within and without and of even the sense of unity, then Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

4. There is no discrimination of rules and preceptsthere is no cause or effect. That which is the identity in all is without words and the collection of words. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

5. There is no knowledge or ignorance and no practice of concentration. There is no space and the absence of space and no practice of concentration. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

6. There is no pot, no individual body or individual. There is no distinction of cause and effect. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

8. Here is the only One without void and absence of void, without purity and impurity without the whole and the part. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

9. There is no distinction of the different and the non-different. There is no distinction of within and without or the junction of the two. It is the same in all- devoid of friend and foe. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

10. It is not of the nature of disciple or non-disciple; nor is it the discernment of the difference between the living and the non-living. There is only the state of freedom The All - The undifferentiated. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

11. It is without form and formlessness. It is without difference and non-difference. It is without manifestation and evolution. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?

12. There is no bondage due to fetters of good and evil qualities. How shall I perform the actions related to death and life? There is only the pure stainless Being the same in all.. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
