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