Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1, verse Verse 49
“There is no body made up of five elements; nor is there anyone who is disembodied.
All is verily the Self alone.
How can there be the three states and the fourth?”
To put this verse in perspective
We pause to explain elements and states
The former, earth, water, fire air and vast space
The states are waking, dreaming, deep sleep
The fourth is turiya, recognised by grace
First things first, we are not decaying organic form
This body-mind is but an earth life interface
A vehicle to feel by touch pulse dual
Our true form in singularity is living light
Eternal awareness self-aware in endless renewal
With this preamble the verse becomes clear
Yet remains a concept until we directly recognise
An enablement offered if we be still in the vibrant void
Where in timeless time false identity falls away
Revealing light of Self pure and unalloyed
