Avadhuta Gita

siva.sh/avadhuta-gita/2/1

अवधूत उवाच बालस्य वा विषयभोगरतस्यवापि मुर्खस्य सेवकजनस्य गृहस्थितस्य। एतद‌गुरोःकिमपि नैव न चिन्तनीयं रत्नं कथं त्यजति कोऽप्यशुचौ प्रविष्टम् ॥ १॥

sanskrit

Avadhuta said: A guru may be young or an enjoyer of worldly pleasures; he may be illiterate or a servant or a householder; but none of these should be taken into consideration. Does one give up a gem dropped in the dirt?

नैवात्र काव्यगुण एव तु चिन्तनीयो ग्राह्यः परं गुणवता खलु सार एव । सिन्दूरचित्ररहिता भुवि रूपशून्या पारं न कि नयति नौरिह गन्तुकामान् ॥२॥

sanskrit

In such a case one should not consider even the quality of scholarship. A worldly person should recognize only the essence. Does not a boat, though devoid of beauty and vermilion paint nevertheless ferry passengers?

प्रयत्लेन विना येन निश्चलेन चलाचलम्। ग्रस्तं स्वभावतः शान्तं चैतन्यं गगनोपमम् ।। ३ ।।

अयनाच्चालयेद्यस्तु एकमेव चराचरम्। सर्वगं तत्कथं भिन्नमद्वैतं वर्तते मम॥४॥

अहमेव परं यस्मात्सारासारतरं शिवम्। गमागमविनिर्मुक्तं निर्विकल्पं निराकुलम्॥५॥

I am verily supreme since I am the Absolute, more essential than all essences, since I am free from birth and death, calm and undifferentiated.
