Consummate Worship!!

Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana 

 

ಕಣ್ಗಳು ತುಂಬಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ನೋಡಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಕಿವಿಗಳು ತುಂಬಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ಕೇಲಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಕೈಗಳು ತುಂಬಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ಪೂಜಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಮನವು ತುಂಬಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ನೆನೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಮಹಂತ ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವನ.

Song as Romanized text

 

kaNgaLu tuMbida baLika nODalilla
kivigaLu tuMbida baLika kElalilla
kaigaLu tuMbida baLika pUjisalilla
manavu tuMbida baLika neneyalilla
mahaMta kUDalasaMgamadEvana.

Meaning of the Prayer Song:


The great ones -
after the eyes consummate does not see;
after the ears consummate does not hear;
after the hands consummate does not worship;
after the mind consummates does not think
- of the Lord of Kudalasangama!

 Notes: 


1. While it would be good to plan for a bath in a river,
why should the fish in the river plan for a bath!
While for the seeker the worship is the basis 
for the elevation and hence he/she should actively 
strive for worshipping, why should the accomplished
plan for the worship - he/she is ever in the worship in deed!!
2. c.f. Give me that love that does not think of You
