Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1 verses 10, 11

10. “I, the One only, am all this, beyond space and continuous. How can I see the Self as visible or hidden?”

11. “Thus you are One. Why then do you not understand -
that you are the unchangeable One, equally perceived in all?
O mighty One, how can you, who are ever-shining, unrestricted, think of day and night?”


we are containerised in form
and hemmed in by space-time
yet deep within cave of our heart
resounds God’s sublime bliss chime

we tip toe in therein in staid silence 
bereft of thought our eye is single 
undifferentiated is awareness
as bliss pheromones mingle

all manifestations disappear
we peer through the pores space 
light of Self renews itself within itself 
truth is known by benediction of grace

in truth the false that died never was
the ego is but an earth life interface
all that is is but light of Self alone
holding reflections in embrace
