ಕಲ್ಲೊಳಗೆ ಹೊನ್ನುಂಟು, ಮರದೊಳಗೆ ಅಗ್ನಿಯುಂಟು, ಹಾಲೊಳಗೆ ತುಪ್ಪವುಂಟು,ಅಂತರ್ಯಾಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿವನಿಹನು. ಇದೇನು ಕಾರಣ ಕತ್ತಲೆ ಕಾಣಬಾರದು,ತೋರಬಲ್ಲ ಗುರು ಸುಳಿಯನು, ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ.

GOD HIDES WITHIN

God is formless; He has none of the qualities which our senses can behold. He has no material dimensions either. He makes the very centre of every object, whether it is big or small. Gold is hidden in rocks; tremendous energy is hidden in the water-molecules. Butter remains unnoticed in milk. Even so, God lies hidden in our heart! Yet we do not know Him. We see only darkness within us! Why? Because, we have not yet come across a great Master who can enable us to feel Him within us. Seek a Master, and human life will have its fulfilment.

ಸತ್ಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ,ಅಸತ್ಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಸಹಜವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ,ಅಸಹಜವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ; ನಾನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ,ನೀನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಇಲ್ಲ ಇಲ್ಲವೆಂಬುದು ಗುಹೇಶ್ವರ ಬಯಲು

THE GRAND VISION OF THE VOID

When the saint reaches the dizzy heights of consciousness, he finds his individual existence simply fading out into the Void. This Void has no dimensions, no temporal movements and no psychic feelings. It is It, the simple Truth, the Reality. In it there is neither the manifest world (सत्य) nor the un-manifest matter (असत्य) ! There is neither mind-based natural disposition (सहज) nor acquired disposition (असहज); and lastly there is neither the sense of ‘I’ nor the sense of 'You'. There is nothing to be seen and nothing to be felt! And this Nothingness is the Absolute, God, the Supreme.

ಮನವು-ಘನವ ನುಂಗಿ, ಘನವು ಮನವ ನುಂಗಿ, ಮನಘನವೆರಡನು ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮವು ನುಂಗಿದ ಬಳಿಕ, ನಾನೆಂಬುವದೆಲ್ಲಿಯದಯ್ಯ ಅಖಂಡೇಶ್ವರಾ?

EXPERIENCE OF THE ABSOLUTE

The mind drinks in the Deus; the Deus dissolves the mind into itself; and later, both of them (the mind and the Cosmic Soul) just fade away into the Absolute. In that state, the ego, the sense of 'I' is nowhere to be found. Here is a mystical experience, very wonderful and true to the last letter. It is like mist entering into the sun! It is like sound entering into the ocean of Silence !

ಅರಿದೆನೆಂದಡೆ ಅರಿಯಬಾರದು ನೋಡಾ! ಘನಕ್ಕೆ ಘನ ತಾನೆ ನೋಡಾ! ಚೆನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನನ ನಿರ್ಣಯವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಸೋತೆನು.

THE ABSOLUTE IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE

The cognitive senses and the mental faculty work in the province of matter and give us its knowledge. But the Absolute is the transcendental reality having none of the perceptible attributes. Hence, those external and internal senses in no way help us to comprehend It. It is one indivisible whole! The great emptiness! In no certain terms can we give its description!

ಕಾಲ ಕಲ್ಪಿತಂಗಳಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಿಮ್ಮಿಂದ ನೀವೇ ಸ್ವಯಂಭುವಾಗಿರ್ದಿರಯ್ಯಾ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪರಮಾನಂದ ಪ್ರಭಾವದ ಪರಿಣಾಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಅನಂತಕಾಲವಿರ್ದಿರಲ್ಲಾ ! ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆದ್ಯಂತವ ನೀವೇ ಅರಿವುತಿದ್ದಿರಲ್ಲಾ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಿಜದುದಯವ ನೀವೇ ಬಲ್ಲಿರಿ ಕೂಡಲಚೆನ್ನಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ.

GOD IS SELF-EXISTENT

Generally, every creation is first 'willed’ and designed by the Creator. This vast world set in time and space, regulated by law and rules, is the Divine - Willed Creation! The Divine Being in the beginning wills to create and then Creation follows. But, He Himself is not subject to this act of Creation. He is self-existent ! He rests in His own blissful existence for eternity. His nature, He alone knows! His glory, He alone enjoys!
