Avadhuta Gita

Song of the ever-free

(Avadhuta gita)

 

Chapter 4 verse 10

 

My Self is not the perceiver nor the object of perception.

It has no cause or effect.

How can I say that It is conceivable or inconceivable?

I am by nature blissful and free.

 

 

Commentary:

Sometimes we allude to the Self as the eternal witness.

This implies that the Self has the role of the perceiver.

This verse takes us away from that limitation too:-

Perceived and perceiver implies an indirect link of the Self

with the perceived world -- this is refuted.
