Avadhuta, the one who has cast off all concerns and obligations, is the typical Sage of wisdom. He does that in a highly unconventional manner. He has no use for social etiquette; he has risen above worldly concerns. He is not bound by sanyasi dharma either. He roams the earth freely like a child, like an intoxicated or like one possessed. He is the embodiment of detachment and spiritual wisdom.

Avadhutas are not concerned with religion or Yoga. Avadhuta, the one who has cast off all concerns and obligations, is the typical Sage of wisdom. He does that in a highly unconventional manner. He has no use for social etiquette; he has risen above worldly concerns. He is not bound by sanyasi dharma either. He roams the earth freely like a child, like an intoxicated or like one possessed. He is the embodiment of detachment and spiritual wisdom.

Avadhuta Gita describes him as ~

Having renounced all, he moves about naked. He perceives the Absolute, the All, within himself.

The Avadhuta never knows any mantra in Vedic meter or any Tantra. Ashtavakra Gita describes him in a similar manner:

The sage sees no difference between happiness and misery, Man and woman, Adversity and success. Everything is seen to be the same.

The sage is not conflicted by states of stillness and thought. His mind is empty. His home is the Absolute.

Knowing for certain that all is Self, the sage has no trace of thoughts Such as “I am this” or “I am not that.”

The sage who finds stillness is neither distracted nor focused. He knows neither pleasure nor pain. Ignorance dispelled, He is free of knowing. . .: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
