Neither space nor air is the Reality;
Neither earth nor fire is the Reality.
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva;
Which, then, is the cloud and which is the rain?
Neither earth nor fire is the Reality.
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva;
Which, then, is the cloud and which is the rain?
If there's no distinction between a thought-image and the world,
If there's no distinction between a thought-image and the gods,
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva;
How, then, could there be a distinction between the Real and the unreal?
There's no distinction between the living and the dead;
There's no distinction between alike and different.
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva;
How, then, could one speak of going or coming?
~ Dattatreya's Song of the Avadhut (6.9-11)
