Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Song of the Ever free (Avadhuta Gita) Chapter 5 verse 5 Brahman is not the union of consciousness and unconsciousness. It is not the meeting point of inner space and outer space. It is not the merging point of time and timelessness. Being that self same Brahman, O mind, why do you weep? Commentary:- The negation process continues. This Brahman is not some kind of combination or meeting or merging point of concepts like space and time. (it is not a by-product or a link between any other categories). The verse ends with the poetic:- 'O mind, why do you weep?' You (the Self) cannot be weeping! It is the 'distorted self' viewed via the mind that seems to go through suffering and weep. What a relief !! Here lies the nectar of Upanishadic teachings. Do not be small minded - you are ever free.
