Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1 verses 31-33

“31. When the pot is broken,/the space within it is absorbed in the infinite space and becomes undifferentiated. When the mind becomes pure, I do not perceive any difference between the mind and the supreme Being. 32. There is no pot; there is no pot's interior space. Neither is there an individual soul nor the form of an individual soul. Know the absolute Brahman, devoid of knowable and knower. 33. Know me to be that Self who is everything and everywhere at all times, the one who is eternal, steady, the All, the nonexistent, and the Existent. Have no doubt.” We are neither this form nor the mind Who are we then, we may ask Made in God’s image, we are eternal living light To experience duality we live in this body cask As formless presence we are more than the universe We know it not because we are by senses hypnotised Containerised in this shell we accept limitation That is until truth of our true Self and God is realised The shift needed is from duality to singularity Or as scriptures say, ‘when our eye be single’ From objective to subjective awareness we become Renouncing desires whence bliss pheromones mingle When ego, the temporary earth life interface drops away We then become that which transcends even formless soul All manifestations are then seen as mere illusions As the all that is, one with God, we then are finally whole

Thank you, Paula dear. Texts like the Avadhuta Gita and the Ashtavakra Gita are freely downloadable as pdfs, if such non-dual teachings interest you.
