Jerry, I went to powells.com and found that they had one copy of the

Avadhut Gita. But when I got there [in de flesh] they had none. So, I

went to the New Renaisance book store and they didn't have one. They

had some much annotated versions but I didn't want that. I prefer the

straight translations without the commentaries. So, I went to the

Powell's annex on SE Hawthorne and they didn't have one.

 

I did find a delightful book of poetry of selected works from

K. Khemananda - _The Valley_. :-))

 

May you all enjoy this one:

---

 

Never Will

 

Land is our body

Joy is our heart

People is our mentality

Mystic is our being

Dream is our time

Pure movement is our living

Empty is our ego

Nothing is our reaction

Useless is our power

Truth is our lover in dream

There, alone

something undecayable

which I don't know

and never will!

-----------------

 

And here are some short untitled ones

-----------------

 

"What will I be ?"

The Being is

"What will I do ?"

The Being does

"How will I live ?"

The being has done.

 

---

 

Don't go into the body

Don't go into the mind

Yet don't go out of the body

Don't go out of the mind

Only there, and that is enough.

 

---

 

You always live in the river of the divine,

you are the fish, no need to dream of

being the bird in the sky.

 

---

 

Hell

Heaven

Earth

Man

God

are

not-two.

 

------------

 

That is enough!

 

[this last one is from Mu] ;-))

 

HAHAHAH and HOHOHO!

 

Peace - and Dream - Michael

Hey Michael,

 

I have a copy, translated as DATTATREYA: The Song of the Avadhut, transl.

by Swami Abhayananda. I think I got it through the SAT organization in

California. It was published by ATMA Books, 3430 Pacific Ave. S.E., Suite

A-6144, Olympia, WA 98501.

 

If you'd like I can bring it to the retreat!

 

Love,

 

--Greg

>All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is

Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality

of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge,

spontaneously arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to

a.

Apologogies that the chapters arrived out of sequence -- vagaries of

the internet, eh. I would have uploaded them as a word file to the

files section, but do not have access. Hopefully, those interested will

read in the original order.
