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
