na jato no murtosi twam na te dehah kadachana sarvam brahmeti vikhyatam braviti bahudha shrutih
❧
Neither birth nor death pertain to you; You have never been a body.
It is well known that “All is Brahman”; The scriptures have stated this in various ways.
sa bahyabhyantarosi twam shivah sarvatra sarvada itas tatah katham bhrantah pradhavasi pishachavat
❧
You are That which is both inside and out; You’re Shiva; you’re everything everywhere. Why, then, are you so deluded?
Why do you run about like a frightened ghost?
samyogash cha viyogash cho vartate na cha te na me
na twam naham jagan nedam sarvam atmaiva kevalam
❧
There’s no such thing as union or separation for me or for you. There is no me, no you, no manifold world;
All is the Self, and the Self alone.
~The Song of the Avadhut
