Guest guest Posted August 25, 2000 Report Share Posted August 25, 2000 Song of the Ever-free Avadhuta Gita Chapter 5 Verse 12. Since I am not bound by the fetters of good and evil qualities, how can I be involved in the actions of the living and the dying? Truly, I am the pure, unclouded, all-pervading Reality. Being the Selfsame Brahman, O mind, why do you weep? Commentary: This philosophy is called 'Non-dualism (Advaita). The greatest criticism one can make against this philosophy is that it seems to 'cut us off' from everything that we know and experience. It appears to be an 'escapist route'. The only valid response is - This philosophy is not the outcome of mental gymnastics but of first hand vibrant experience of a 'seer'. Many seers from many traditions have experienced this 'Advaita' - it is for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
