अवधूत गीता (भगवान दत्तात्रेय - सान्वय हिन्दी व्याख्या सहित)

29

21. Never do I have father, mother, family, caste, birth and death. How shall I speak of affection and infatuation? I am free from disease - my form has been extinguished.

22. Never do I disappear - I am ever manifest. Never so I have effulgence or absence of effulgence. How shall I speak of such rituals as morning and evening devotions? I am free from disease - my form has been extinguished.

23. Know me beyond all doubt to be boundless. Know me beyond all doubt to be undivided. Know me beyond all doubt to be stainless. I am free from disease - my form has been extinguished.

24. The wise give up all meditations; they give up all good and evil deeds and drink of the nectar of renunciation. I am free from disease - my form has been extinguished.

25. There is verily no versification where one knows nothing. The supreme and free one absorbed in the consciousness of the homogenous being and pure of thought, prattles about the truth.

Chapter 5

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 precepts- there 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.
