अवधूत गीता (भगवान दत्तात्रेय - सान्वय हिन्दी व्याख्या सहित)

7

It - inconscientousness or true realization.

Samahdi - the absorption of the mind in the absolute Brahman, as a result of which the eternal Truth is realized.

Dattatreya maintains that the practice of Samahdi has no justification.

If the universe of our experience is the not-Self, then the true "I" is not in the state of Samahdi, for Truth is not there.

If our experience is of the Self, then Samahdi is superfluous.

How can The Self then be in Samahdi?

24. You are pure homogeneous Reality, disembodied, unborn, and immutable.

Why do you think of yourself as "I know it here" or as "I do not know"?

"I know it here", etc. - Our knowledge of our Self in this earthly state is incorrect. To maintain that we do not have any true knowledge of our Self here is also incorrect.

25. By such sentences as "That thou art," our own Self is affirmed. Of that which is untrue and composed of the five elements - the Sruti (scripture) says, "Not this, not this." (Neti Neti)

That, etc. - the phenomenal existence as well as the unknowable.

Five elements - earth, water, fire, air, and ether, of which, according to the Indian systems of philosophy the whole relative existence is constituted. See verse 3.

Sruti - the Vedas, particularly the Upanishads, the original texts of the Vedanta philosophy.

26. As the self is filled by the Self, so is all filled continuously by you. There is no meditator or meditation.
Why does your mind meditate shamelessly?

Shamelessly - One should be ashamed to meditate, because meditation pre-supposes a shameful forgetfulness of one's true nature.

If one does not know The Self meditation is the way to realization. After realization one will cease to meditate.

27. I do not know the Supreme; how shall I speak of Him?
I do not know the Supreme how shall I worship Him?
If I am the supreme One, who is the highest Truth,
who is homogeneous Being and like unto space,
how then shall I speak of Him and worship Him?

Know, etc. - Empirical knowledge belongs to a lower state in which the Supreme cannot be perceived; therefore one cannot speak of "knowing" the Supreme.
