अवधूत गीता (भगवान दत्तात्रेय - सान्वय हिन्दी व्याख्या सहित)

37

the spontaneous joy of his own mind.

10. If the yogi is always related
    to knowledge and perception, to duality and unity
    how can he be free here? How can a yogi be natural
    and free from attachment here?
    He is the enjoyer of the pure, stainless
    and homogenous Being.

11. The Self is destruction,
    devoid of the destroyed and the undestroyed.
    The Self is the auspicious moment,
    Devoid of the auspicious and inauspicious time.
    Thus, how can there be here substance
    and the absence of substance?
    The truth which is homogenous
    is of the form of the sky.

12. Forever divested of all
    and united to the Self -
    the enlightened one is the All -
    free and devoid of truth.
    Thus, how can there be here life and death?
    and how can there be any accomplishment
    through meditation and lack of mediation?

13. All this is magic, like a mirage in the desert.
    Only the absolute Self, of indivisible
    and impenetrable form exists.

14. To all things -
    from the practice of religious laws and duties to liberation,
    we are completely indifferent.
    How can we have anything to do with attachment or detachment?
    Only the learned imagine these things.

15. 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.

Chapter 8

1. By making my pilgrimage to Thee
   Thy all-pervasiveness has been destroyed by me.
   With my meditation, Thy transcendence
   of the mind has been destroyed.
   Thy transcendence of speech
   has been destroyed by my singing Thy Praise.
   Ever forgive me these three sins.

2. A sage is one whose intelligence is unsmitten by lusts -
   who is self-controlled, gentle and pure -
