Chapter 2 of Avadhuta Gita by Dattatreya, son of Atri and Anasuya

1.Of the teacher- even if he be young, illiterate, or addicted to the enjoyment of sense objects, even if he be a servant or a householder-none of these should be considered. Does anyone shun a gem fallen in an impure place?

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

7. Ignorance does not create any doubt. What shall I do, being endowed with modifications of the mind? They arise and dissolve like bubbles in water.

8.Thus am I ever pervading all existence beginning with cosmic intelligence-pervading soft, hard, sweet, and pungent substances.

20.Illusory knowledge relates to what is outside, correct knowledge is what to inside. Try to know That which is more interior than the inside. That which is like water within the kernel of the coconut.



The holy book of Avadhuta Gita was found out by Swami Vivekananda for those who do not believe in God. This holy book is for atheists.
