THE LOVING SPIRIT OF CHARITY

(Selections from the Christian Tradition and the Bhagavad Gita)

by Jake The Wayfarer

The teachings/maxims within this booklet promote sacred service for the poor as well as self-emptying. In Christian parlance, this is the synthesis of good works and kenosis;  in the lingo of the Bhagavad Gita, it is the blessed blend of karma yoga and bhakti yoga. These spiritual messages challenge us to be more selfless by masterfully calling out the ego’s rule over our lives.

AVADHUTA GITA

(Ultimate Reality in The One)

Original Composition by Dattatreya

Current Adaptation by Jake The Wayfarer

Avadhuta means “liberated soul” and Gita translates into “song”.  So, the Avadhuta Gita is the “Song of the Liberated Soul”.  This non-dual tome shares the intuitive realization of the Oneness of Ultimate Reality. These mystical verses are adapted herein in a blunt but playful way to directly address sincere seekers inhabiting our world today.

*Published by Back Pocket Wisdom Editions in the United States.

ASCENDING FROM THE RUINS OF DELUSIO

(Spiritual Insight and Tough Love for Sincere Seekers of the Really Real)

by Jake The Wayfarer

This edition is titled Ascending from the Ruins of Delusion because the biggest obstacle for seekers to awaken within Ultimate Reality is their inability to recognize and detach from their delusional egocentric self and its entangled relationship with the illusory socially conditioned  world.  Thus, many of the teachings and observations selected for this work deal with that vital theme.

*Forthcoming in the Autumn of 2026
