Meditation On The Song Of The Avadhut

"Song Of The Avadhut," is one of the most sublime and uncompromising poetic statements ever written on the unitive knowledge obtained through mystical vision. It has stood for centuries as the quintessential representative of the path of knowledge.

Listen, and allow the words to pull you into your true self, pure consciousness.

I am beyond the distinctions of night and day.

I cannot be split into parts.

I never wake from within myself.

I am never not awake.

I am never moved by thought at all.

I never try to be pure.

I am nectarian knowledge,

Unchanging bliss.

I am everywhere,

Like space.

I am neither the Lord,

Nor am I not the Lord.

I am the formless self.

I am beyond the presence or absence of the mind.

I am the formless self.

Know well that I am free of everything.

I am the formless self.

I am nectarian knowledge,

Unchanging bliss.

I am everywhere,

Like space.

I am a house that is empty.

What may I say of that?

I do everything,

Yet I do nothing.

What can I say of that?

I am always in the even state.

I am the formless self.

I am nectarian knowledge,

Unchanging bliss.

I am everywhere,

Like space.

I am beyond being a soul or not a soul.

I am forever shining forth.

I am beyond being a cause or not a cause.

I am forever shining forth.

I am beyond both nirvana and bondage.

I am forever shining forth.

I am nectarian knowledge,

Unchanging bliss.

I am everywhere,

Like space.

Unlimited by the beginning,

I am forever shining forth.

Unlimited by the continuing play,

I am forever shining forth.

Unlimited by the destruction of all,

I am forever shining forth.

I am nectarian knowledge,

Unchanging bliss.

I am everywhere,

Like space.

Though you may be spoken of,

You have neither name nor form.

Whether you are divided or undivided,

There is nothing here but you.

Oh,

Mind.

Oh,

Shameless,

Wandering mind.

Why do you weary yourself so?

I am nectarian knowledge,

Unchanging bliss.

I am everywhere,

Like space.
