AVADHUTA GITA

[Guest guest]

Chapter 3, Verse 12:

 

Swami Chetanananda

In my Self there are no such alternatives as delusin or lack of

delusion, grief or lack of grief, greed or lack of greed. I am

Existence-Knowledge-Bliss and boundless as space.

 

Swami Ashokananda

It is not my ignorance that the One beyond illusion seems to be posited

in illusion. It is not my ignorance that the griefless One appears to be

posited in grief. It is not my ignorance that the greedless One appears

to be posited in greed. I am the nectar of Knowledge, homogeneous

Existence, like the sky.

Note: Not, etc. - The truth is that the Self alone is transcendental

and immutable; yet to the ignorant It appears to be involved in the

relative existence. The Self, however, cannot be considered responsible

for this appearance, because by Its very nature It is beyond illusion.
