Krishna and Uddhava would be having a discussion, the basis of which would be to impart the Brahma Jnana to Uddhava
During one such discussion, Krishna describes Anumana and Pratyaksha through a story, which is the Avadhūta Gītā

Yadu would be roaming the earth and comes across a young man, barely clad but completely fearless. He had a serene smile on his face

There are 24 teachers from whom I learnt various lessons as below
6/
1. Earth
- Forbearance / Endurance
- Even if oppressed by world, a firm man never moves away from path of Dharma
- A wise man is convinced of doing good to others & considers his janma being just for that purpose - lesson taught by mountains & trees
7/
- Learn to live with the barest minimum
- Even if placed amongst the objects of desires, a wise man will learn to live without getting attached
- An atman has to pass thru' the world without getting attached similar to a wind that traverses all over
8/
- Clouds, Stars, Moon, Sun all inhabit the sky, but sky remains apart from them all
- Atman inside one is not involved with the body which is holding it
- Brahman is apart from the visible world that manifested from it
9/
- Full of love, sweet in nature & apt to purify those who comes in contact with it
- Similar to water, we should rid ourselves of arishadvarga
- Good men are like river that cleanses all, with sight, touch or words
10/
- Full of light, consumes everything but is not contaminated by it
- Man who has tapas as his wealth is untainted even if he enjoys what the world has to offer
- Never discriminates food as good / bad
- Like Arni inside wood, Atman is within the body & is invisible
11/
- Similar to waxing & waning of moon called Kaalas, stages of birth, growth & decay of body doesn't affect the Atman
- Flames rise & end in fire itself - Similar is the speed of time & cycle of births & deaths - Time is invisible
12/
- Sun absorbs water thru' its rays & gives it back in the form of Rain
- Wise man is never attached to the things that gratify the senses; accepts them to do good to others
- Reflection in difference places is different, but is Sun itself - All atamans are also same
13/
- A pair of pigeons with kids were present; Kids get caught in the net; Mother distraught with grief goes to net & later is followed by father; All caught & killed by hunter
- Lesson : Attachment / thoughts on possessions leads to ruin;
14/
- Wise man should be indifferent to everything
- Python eats whatever comes it's way, whether its tasty or not
- Doesn't go out of the way / make special attempts to satisfy its hunger
- Man should learn to be satisfied & control desires, senses - Aim is moksha
15/
- Wise man should be like ocean ; Surface should be clear and lucid, but depth can't be gauged
- No one should be able to cross him in his purpose
- When rivers rush in due to rains, Ocean is not impacted
- Shouldn't be depressed if desires are frustrated
16/
- Owning to temptations, if a man loses his reasoning and thinking and falls prey to charms, he destroys himself like a moth attracted to the fire
- Moth represents one of the snares of Indriyas (senses) viz., sense of sight which beguiles it
17/
- When one eats, we should take only that much which is necessary for body and soul
- Honey Bee collects honey from all flowers & doesn't become avaricious
- It is also careful not to hurt the flower - Sanyasi should accept only so much and not more
18/
- If one collects wealth & doesn't enjoy / distribute wealth, he is like Honey bee
- His wealth will be taken away by someone who is stronger
- Wise man knows how to make others work for him & benefit by their work like Bee-hive Keeper
19/
- Elephant represents one more of the snares of Indriyas (senses) viz., sense of touch
- Male elephant is lured into a trap by a female elephant
- Real Sanyasi should be aware and not be lured to the extent of not touching with toes also
20/
- Deer represents another snare of Indriyas - Sense of sound
- Beautiful music / music sung with a desire to please shouldn't be heard by Sanyasi
- Else he will get trapped in desires like a deer which is lured into a trap by music by hunter
21/
-Fish represents another snare of Indriyas - Sense of Taste
- Coveting food, it bites the bait and is caught
- Man should be careful - He should to learn this sense-organ which is the hardest of all

24/
- Suckling child is free from worries and is cheerful as it's mother takes total care
- Total self-surrender is of utmost importance
- We should leave ourselves to the care of god and trust in his ways
25/
- When a young poor girl was alone, some people visited the house
- Girl started to pound grains for food; As she had glass bangles, she removed them to avoid others knowing her state
- Spiritual aspirant should learn to leave in solitude & avoid strife
26/
- To attain the Brahmi state, one must perceive the one-ness
- Breath control thru' Pranayama will lead to mind-control
- One should have single minded dedication towards their goal - Like the archer who didn't know what was happening around him
27/
- Snake avoids the company of men as it's suspicious of their intentions
- Alone with no dwelling place of its own
- Sanyasin should leave alone and avoid contact with others
- Shouldn't have home of his own as it's a bondage
28/
- If one begins to think of one object intensely to exclusion of others, becomes the object

- If mind thinks of Paramatma with concentration, it will become one with it
29/

There was a confusion on Kurari i.e. whether it's animal or bird. @santalum_aurum has confirmed that it's a bird.
Please note this correction & apologies for the incorrect representation earlier.

Kurara is a bird, iirc, not a squirrel...

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
