Lessons from the Avadhuta: Life’s Greatest Teachers – Part 2 of 12

The First Guru: Earth
Earth patiently bears all burdens—storms, footsteps, even wars—without complaint.

From Earth, Dattatreya learned patience, forgiveness, and selfless service.

Mountains and trees, extensions of Earth, live solely for others’ benefit. They inspired Dattatreya to serve selflessly too.

Air: The Second Guru
Air flows everywhere, touching all but remaining unattached. Its purity refreshes everything it meets.

Dattatreya learned from air to bring joy to others while staying detached from outcomes.

Next, we’ll meet gurus like space and water, with profound lessons.
