Avadhoota Gita - 6

Sage Dattatreya

Chapter 6

19. No distinction of sacrificer and sacrifice exists. No distinction of fire and ingredients exists. If there is only one indivisible, all-comprehensive absolute how can there be any fruits of work?

20. The Self is verily free from sorrow and absence of sorrow. The Self is free from pride and the absence of pride. If there is only one indivisible, all-comprehensive absolute how can there be consciousness of attachment and non-attachment?

21. No such change as illusion and freedom from illusion exists. No such change as greed and freedom from greed exists. If there is only one indivisible, all-comprehensive absolute how can there be consciousness of discrimination and lack of discrimination?

22. There are never any "you" and "I". The discrimination of family and race is false. I am indeed the Absolute and the Supreme Truth. In that case how can I make salutation?

23. The Self is that in which the distinction of teacher and disciple disappears and in which the consideration of instruction also disappears. I am indeed the Absolute and the Supreme Truth. In that case how can i make salutation?

24. There is no imagined division of bodies. There is no imagined division of worlds. I am indeed the Absolute and the Supreme Truth. In that case how can i make salutation?

25. The Self, never endowed with passion or devoid of it, is verily spotless, immovable and pure. I am indeed the Absolute and the Supreme Truth. In that case how can i make salutation?

26. No distinction such as body and bodilessness exists, nor is it true that there is false action. I am indeed the Absolute and the Supreme Truth. In that case how can i make salutation?

27. Where one knows nothing, there is verily no versification. The Supreme One, pure of thought, absorbed in the consciousness of the homogenous being - prattles about the truth.
