The Avadhoota Gita-22
4. How shall I speak of desirelessness and desire?
How shall I speak of non-attachment and attachment?
How shall I speak of Him as devoid of substance and insubstantiality?
I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. Because the knowledge of all that exists, depends upon the pre-existence of a consciousness which can come to know the known, even the knowing consciousness is preceded by Pure Awareness. Thus it follows that I am the source of existence yet in myself I am without form, yet all form flows from me; as does the existence of the consciousness.
5. How shall I speak of the whole, which is non-dual? How shall I speak of the whole which is of the nature of duality? How shall I speak of the whole, which is eternal and non-eternal? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence like the sky.
6. It is neither gross nor subtle. It has neither come nor gone. It is without beginning, middle and end. It is neither high nor low. I am truly declaring the highest reality - I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.
7. Know all instruments of perception to be like ethereal space. Know all of perception to be like ethereal space. Know this pure one as neither bound nor free. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.
8. My child, I am not difficult to comprehend, nor am I hidden in consciousness. My child, I am not difficult to perceive, nor am I hidden in the perceptible. My child, I am not hidden in the forms immediately near me. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.
9. I am the fire that burns the karma of one who is beyond all karma. I am the fire that burns the sorrow of one beyond all sorrow. I am devoid of body. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.
10. I am the fire that burns the sin of one who is sinless. I am the fire that burns the attributes of one who is without attributes. I am the fire that burns the bondage of one who is without bondage. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.
