Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1, verse 1

” Through the grace of God alone, the desire for nonduality arises in wise men to save them from great fear.” {Nonduality - monistic Consciousness, in which the knower, knowledge, and knowable - soul and God - become one; the highest realization of Divinity. Fear - The word "fear" includes also such states of mind as insecurity, despair, and grief, all of which arise from a consciousness of oneself as limited and separate from others and which therefore can be dispelled only by realizing oneself as the All.} _______________________ ignorance is the cause of fear mistaken that we are body-mind clinging to objects we hold dear floundering about as do the blind freedom within is near at hand yet to invoke the boons of grace we must be still to understand that God holds us in close embrace
