Avadhuta Gita

Song of the Ever free

 

 

Chapter 8

Verse 2

 

He whose intellect is not agitated by desires,

and whose sense organs are controlled;

he who is gentle, pure without possessions,

not covetous, not greedy, serene and steadfast;

he who has taken refuge in the Self -

he alone is a sage.....

 

 

Commentary:

Many times we are asked how do you distinguish a 'real sage' ?

This verse would be an apt reply.

(There is a very similar verse in the Bhagavad Gita).
