There’s only one ground
— for a slum or a temple.
There is only one water
— for washing or for worship.
There is only one kula or class
— for those who know themselves.
Paths may be six, the goal
is one and the same – liberation.
For those who know you, Kudala-sangama-deva,
There is only one standpoint (everything is Shiva).
— Basavanna
InsightThe one who stays in awareness looks things as they are. To him water is just water without discrimination such as water for washing or water for worship; land is land whether there is a temple on it or there is a slum. FocusAnchored in awareness everything is Siva, everyone is Shiva. |
