Recitation with translationAvadhuta Upanishad 11

na nirodho na cotpattir na baddho na ca sādhakaḥ | na mumukṣur na vai mukta ity eṣā paramārthatā ||11||

నిరోధమూ లేదు, ఉత్పత్తీ లేదు; బద్ధుడూ లేదు, సాధకుడూ లేదు. ముముక్షుడూ లేదు, నిజంగా ముక్తుడూ లేదు—ఇదే పరమార్థసత్యం.

There is no cessation, nor indeed origination; none is bound, nor is there a practitioner. There is no seeker of liberation, nor truly any liberated one—this is the highest truth.
