Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1 verse 8:
“I have no mental activity, good of bad;
I have no bodily function, good or bad;
I have no verbal action, good or bad.
I am the nectar of Knowledge -
beyond the senses, pure”
fragmented fickle thought relates to ego
useful of course but we now make it slow
we take expansion as good, contraction as bad
preferring to be joyful rather than sad
but reflect oh hermit, to whom do emotions come
are we not the luminous Self, the very cosmic hum
since we are both transcendent and immanent
pulsations of bliss within us are permanent
Soma nectar flows and we drink to our fill
peering at heaven through soul’s window sill
vagaries of earth life we easily endure
since of heart is pure and innate vibrance demure
