Avadhuta said: The Avadhuta wears a patched garment made of rags cast off by the side of the street. He walks a path which is free from virtue and vice. Absorbed in the pure, unpolluted bliss of Brahman, the carefree mendicant lives in a deserted place.
The signs of the Avadhuta may or may not be visible. Although he is beyond right and wrong, he is absolutely honest. His real nature is perfect, pure, and spotless. How is it possible for such an illumined soul to become involved in arguments and disputations?
आशापाशविबन्धनमुक्ताः शौचाचारविवजितयुक्ताः। एवं सर्वविवजितसन्तस्तत्त्वं शुद्धनिरजनवन्तः ॥३॥
The Avadhuta is free from the captivating trap of desire. Shunning physical tidiness and social niceties, he is absorbed in the Supreme Spirit. Thus, renouncing everything, he becomes one with the pure, stainless Brahman.
In this state of realization, how can the Avadhuta consider whether he has a body or not, or whether he has attachment or not? He himself is the immaculate, immovable, innate Reality-infinite as space.
In this state of realization, how and where can one know the Reality? How can there be any form or formlessness? When the Supreme Reality is all-pervading like space, how can one objectify It?
