Avadhuta Gita - Selected Verses!

1	ishvaranugrahad-eva pumsam advaita vasana mahadbhaya paritranat vipranam upajayate	Only by the grace of God, the quest to know oneself arises within. Only then, does one gets freedom from the great fear of death.
2	yenedam puritam sarvam atmanaivatman atmani nirakaram katham vande hyabhinnam shivam avyayam	All that names & forms in this world is nothing but the Self and the Self alone. How can the formless & infinite worship Itself? Shiva is one undivided Whole!
3	panchabhutatmakam vishvam marichi-jala sannibham kasyapyaho namas-kuryam aham eko niranjanah	The five subtle elements that combine to compose this world are as themselves illusory as the water in a mirage; To whom, then, shall I bow my head? I myself am Shiva - the undeluded One!
4	atmaiva kevalam sarvam bhedabhedo na vidyate asti nasti katham bruyam vismayah pratibhati me	This universe is the Self; It is neither divided nor undivided. How can I even assert that it exists? I can only view with wonder and awe!
5	aham eva vyayonantah shuddha-vijnana-vigrahah sukham duhkham na   janami katham kasyapi vartate	I’m the infinite and immutable One; I’m pure Consciousness, without any form. I don’t know how or to whom, joy and sorrow appear in this world.
6	atmanam satatam viddhi sarvatraikam nirantaram aham dhyata param   dhyeyam akhandam khandyate katham	Understand that the Self is continuous Being, the One within all, without any division and separation. The “I” is both the subject and the supreme object of meditation; How can you see two in That which is One?
7	sakaram anritam viddhi nirakaram nirantaram etat tatvopadeshena na punar-bhava sambhavah	All forms, understand, are only temporary manifestations; Only the formless Essence eternally exists. Once this truth is realized, there’s no reason for rebirth.
8	aham tattvam samam tattvam kalpana-hetu-varjitam grahya-grahaka-hi-muktam swasamvedham katham bhavet	I am the Essence, the all-pervading Essence; I have no form of my own. I’m beyond the division of subject and object; How could I possibly be an object to myself?
9	ghate bhinne ghatakasham sulinam bheda-varjitam shivena manasa shuddho na bhedah pratibhati me	When a jar is broken, the space and outside become One (which already was). In the same way, my mind has merged in God; To me, there appears no duality.
10	parena sahajatmapi hyabhinnah pratibhati me vyomakaram tathaivaikam dhyata dhyanam katham bhavet	To some, the Self appears as other; To me the Self is I. Like undivided space, That One alone exists. How then, could the subject and object of meditation be two?
11	vishuddhosya shariro si na te chittam parat param aham chatma param   tattvam iti vaktum na lajjase	You are the Pure One! You have no body. You are not the mind; you’re the supreme Reality. "I am the Self, the supreme Reality!". Say this without any hesitancy.
12	katham rodishi re chitta hyatmaivatmatmana bhava piba vatsa kalatitam advaitam paramamritam	Why do you weep, O mind? Why do you cry? Take the attitude: “I am the Self!” O dear one, go beyond the many! Drink the supreme nectar of Unity!
13	advaita-rupam akhilam katham vadami dvaita-swarupam akhilam hi katham vadami nityam twanityam akhilam hi katham vadami jnanamritam samarasam gaganopamoham	I’m undivided, yet I’m every separate form; what shall I say of that?  I’m divided, yet I’m in everything; what shall I say of that? I’m both eternal and non-eternal; what shall I say of that? I’m nectarean knowledge, unchanging bliss; I’m everywhere, like space.
14	nirbhava-bhavarahito na bhavami vatsa niryoga-yoga-rahito na bhavami vatsa nishchitta-chitta-rahito na bhavami vatsa jnanamritam samarasam gaganopamoham	I’m beyond non-existence and beyond existence; these don’t pertain to me. I’m beyond both union and separation; these don’t pertain to me. I’m beyond both unconsciousness and consciousness; these don’t pertain to me. I’m nectarean knowledge, unchanging bliss; I’m everywhere, like space.
15	shuddham vishuddham avicharam ananta-rupam nirlepa-lepam avicharam ananta-rupam nishkhanda-khandam   avicharam ananta-rupam jnanamritam samarasam gaganopamoham	My nature is boundless, beyond such distinctions as pure and impure. My nature is boundless, beyond such distinctions as attached or unattached. My nature is boundless, beyond such distinctions as divided or undivided. I’m nectarean knowledge, unchanging bliss; I’m everywhere, like space.
16	linga-prapancha-janusi na cha te na me cha nirlajja-manasam idam cha vibhati bhinnam nirbheda-bheda-rahitam na cha te na me cha jnanamritam samarasam gaganopamoham	You and I are not attached to this world of ephemeral forms; It is only the shameless mind which divides the One in parts. Division and non-division are the same to you and me; I’m nectarean knowledge, unchanging bliss; I’m everywhere, like space.
