Upasani Baba Maharaj (1870-1941)
A traditional Asian Indian term for one who has “shaken off” or “passed beyond” all worldly attachments and cares, including all motives of detachment (or conventional and other-worldly renunciation), all conventional notions of life and religion, and all seeking for “answers” or “solutions” in the form of conditional experience or conditional knowledge. As Adi Da Samraj has pointed out, non-humans (such as plants and animals) are all avadhoots of a kind.
