Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Song of the Ever-free (Avadhuta Gita) Chapter 5 Verse 8 Brahman is neither void nor nonvoid. It is neither pure nor impure. It is neither all nor none. Being the Selfsame Brahman, O mind, why do you weep? Commentary: The 'Self' is equated to 'Brahman'. Brahman defies all classification. The 'intellect' tries to label it either as void or nonvoid, pure or that which is not impure, It being 'all' or 'none'. The knower of the 'Self' knows that none of these classifications come anywhere near describing 'Brahman' (Self). Hence the final statement:- 'O mind, why do you weep? look within and see your true majesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
