Guest guest Posted December 3, 2000 Report Share Posted December 3, 2000 Avadhuta Gita Song of the Ever free Chapter 7 Verse 4 In this state of realization, how can the Avadhuta consider whether he has a body or not, or whether he has attachment or not? He himself is the immaculate, immovable, innate Reality - infinite as space. Commentary: This verse tries to convey something that is impossible to convey. We should not use Advaita (philosophy of non-dualism) for a special kind mental satisfaction or for gaining intellectual kicks. Neither is it a matter of elaborate discussion, ritual or belief. It just IS. We do not reach Advaita - we do not achieve it. It just IS. It is a 'state and can never be a 'statement'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abhayananda. In that translation Chapter 7 Verse 4 is: For him, where is the question of being embodied or bodiless? Where is the question of attachment or noon-attachment? Pure and unpartitioned as the infinite sky, He is, Himself, the Reality in its natural form. HAHAHAH and HOHOHO! Peace - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
