Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana

 

ಮರಮರ ಮಥನದಿಂದ ಅಗ್ನಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿ
ಆ ಮರನೆಲ್ಲವ ಸುಡದಿಪ್ಪುದೆ?
ಮಹಾನುಭಾವರ ಸಂಗದಿಂದ ಜ್ಞಾನಾಗ್ನಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿ
ಎನ್ನ ತನುಗುಣವೆಲ್ಲವ ಸುಡದಿಪ್ಪುದೆ?
ಇದು ಕಾರಣ ಮಹಾನುಭಾವರ ತೋರಿಸು
ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ

Song as Romanized text

Meaning of the Prayer Song:


 Won't the fire that arise from the rubbing together of
trees, burn the whole set of trees?
Won't the fire of wisdom that arise from the meeting of
people of great experience, burn my body and characteristics?
For this reason, show me the people of great experience,
oh Divine of Kudalasangama!


 Notes: 


1. The association of the people who have got the divine experience is
a very powerful way to ignite the fire of wisdom. Many saints have sought 
the association of such people and celebrated that in their songs.

c.f. எண்ணிலேன் திருநாமவஞ் செழுத்தும்என் ஏழைமை யதனாலே 
நண்ணிலேன் கலைஞானிகள் தம்மொடுநல்வினை நயவாதே 
மண்ணிலே பிறந்திறந்து மண்ணாவதற் கொருப்படு கின்றேனை 
அண்ணல் ஆண்டுதன் அடியரிற் கூட்டிய அதிசயங் கண்டாமே - திருவாசகம்
