The Avadhuta Gita (Song of the Free) in English

The Avadhuta Gita (Song of the Free) of Dattatreya.
This classic piece of Advaita Vedanta was translated here by Swami Ashokananda of the Ramakrishna Order for the Vedanta Socity of California. The title of the text, Avadhuta means "liberated soul", while Gita means song. The text describes the nature and the state of a person who is spiritually free and liberated.

    Why should I Seek after Pleasures? I am All Pleasures Experienced Why Hunger after treats when All The Worlds issue from my Mouth? What is the Need not Satisfied in the unending Universe of Universes That I Am.? Where is the Want when All is Possessed in an Instant of Desire. Being That I Am, there is Naught.

    @@thesaiyanpath7914 When was the Truth ever not an alien message? Haha. What kinds of souls care not to return to this place? Very few indeed is the Truth as I've seen it. And yet the Truth is so simple for the one who wants it here and now Truly and sincerely. Truly there are no problems at all, but I find it so sad to see my brothers and sisters going to the grave again and again drunk on pure illusion. But what do we say to this? Truly there's no one who dies or is born, and so I smile, as the Totality, Alone.

    While this is appreciated, I wish you had 1. Spoken louder; it is difficult to hear you 2. Had the text on the screen at the same time that you spoke the words, as CC does not do a good job. Could anyone tell me, does the Krishnananda book also have the Sanskrit text? Best I could tell on Amazon, it does NOT. Very unfortunate.
