Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 >From Edith Tipple Avadhuta Gita Chapter 3, Verse 4: Swami Chetanananda Truly, how can I say that Brahman has desire, or that It is desireless? How can I say whether It is attached or unattached? How can I say that It is unreal, or that It is devoid of substance? I am Existence-Knowledge-Bliss and boundless as space Swami Ashokananda How shall I speak of desirelessness and desire? How shall I speak of nonattachment and attachment? How shall I speak of Him as devoid of substance and insubstantiality? I am the nectar of Knowledge, homogeeous Existence, like the sky. Notes: How, etc. - No description or conception is possible of that Self-realization in which there is no distinction of quality or absence of quality. Substance, etc. - transcendental Reality; "insubstantiality" - relative reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
