Avadhuta Gita chapter 2 verse 40

“Where mind and speech can utter nothing, how can there be instruction by a teacher? To the teacher-ever united with Brahman, who has said these words, the homogeneous Truth shines out.”


We cannot use mind to transcend the mind,
so in silence, our presence self-aware,
doing nothing becomes divine aligned
and with mind of God does seamlessly pair,
revealing light of Self, stark clear and bare.
Even prior to manifestation,
pulsating in the womb of creation,
we see everything as a oneness field
and as such there is no separation,
save in dreams birthed by power God does wield.

Given the truth, of what use is prayer,
which assumes that God is at a distance,
negating His presence that’s everywhere?
Our meditation offers resistance,
being but mind’s dogmatic insistence.
Simply by resting in blissful repose,
we don’t attain yet we metamorphose,
going beyond space-time as living light
and as in time our heart’s magnetism grows,
upon ego death we secure clear sight.
