|| अवधूतगीता (चयनित श्लोकाः) ||

अहं ब्रह्म परं धाम अहं ब्रह्म परं सुखम् । अहं ब्रह्म परं ज्ञानमहमेव परः शिवः ॥१॥

ahaṃ brahma paraṃ dhāma ahaṃ brahma paraṃ sukham | ahaṃ brahma paraṃ jñānamahameva paraḥ śivaḥ ||1||

I am Brahman, the supreme abode. I am Brahman, the supreme bliss. I am Brahman, the supreme knowledge. I alone am the supreme Shiva.

न तप्तं च न तप्तव्यं न वेदा न च देवताः । न च यज्ञा न च लोका मया कल्पितमेव च ॥२॥

na taptaṃ ca na taptavyaṃ na vedā na ca devatāḥ | na ca yajñā na ca lokā mayā kalpitameva ca ||2||

There is no austerity, nothing to be achieved, no Vedas, no gods, no sacrifices, no worlds. All these are imagined by me alone.

॥ इति अवधूतगीता सम्पूर्णम् ॥

The Avadhuta Gita is a radical non-dual text that expresses the realization of one who has completely transcended all identification with the body, mind, and society.
