| Selected Vachana: |
|---|
| Like water and earth uniting to become a pot the Chit and the Shakti united; you becoming my ishtalinga stood before me. You became the resting place of my will, a boat to carry me across all the organs that I carry and helped me to cross the ocean of worldliness. The very personification of truth O, Sadaashivamurtylinga, without disappearing be in my body. / 1432 |
| Tell me, like a king who builds several palaces how can the soul wander in several places of the body? Differences within the body disappeared when life was no more. When there was no king the palaces were decrepit. When you understand Sadaashivamurtylinga you will understand the difference between what is destroyed and what remains. / 1433 |
| If the sharp edge of the sword is blunted can't it become sharp again by grinding? Is it bad, if you neglect life and understand the soul? So long as there is forgetting and there is knowing Worship Sadaashivamurtylinga without forgetting. / 1434 |
| Like the cloud that appears in the sky, like the ocean that sees the moon, like lotus exulting seeing the sun, seeing the sign differently in the soul mind increases and body dissolves, determination shines in true philosophy in Sadaashivamurtylinga. / 1435 |
| The soul standing in the middle of the body touches with hands listens with ears smells with nose sees with eyes eats with mouth. Like that for five organs one soul is distributed accordingly. Till the quality of truth from the face of each organ is known The will should reside behind the ishtalinga and the Thing should become a name to know Sadaashivamurtylinga. / 1436 |
| When the water is still image is fixed. If water is unsettled by movement where is the space for reflected image? If the mind wanders can the sign that resides in it be controlled? In Sadaashivamurtylinga this riddle of duality ends and light shines. / 1437 |
| No one eats because food is hungry. No one drinks because water is thirsty. No one sows because the earth is poor. When you worship for your own desire do not deceive, so that you can realize Sadaashivamurtylinga. / 1438 |
| If grass and grains are given to the milking cow one can see the increase of milk. Like that If the action is pure and mind, words and body are pure The Thing increases, the light that destroys untruth is seen and the joy of union with Sadaashivamurtylinga. / 1439 |
| Like light in stone, heat in flame, taste of juice in fruit, pleasure of the happy will, The great light is seen in the true linga, the Sadaashivamurtylinga. / 1440 |
| Is that the Thing that gets worshiped behind the screen of stone or tree or earth? It is nothing but the place of one's own mind. The knowledge that knows what is there shines as the true Thing the very Sadaashivamurtylinga. / 1441 |
