Selected Vachana:

Aaanandayya


Holding installed linga you become victims of Maari.
You get wounded and take many births.
It is an empty desire if you say you have seen Shiva.
Aananda Sindhu Rameshwara detests such people with faults. / 1518

Aaydakki Marayya


Carrying firewood and water
to the house of the truthful
receiving what they give
accepting what ones work deserves
and remaining truthful-
such devotee is one with Amareeshwaralinga. / 1519
If engaged in kaayaka
one should forget visiting guru;
forget worshiping linga
and ned not bother even if jangama stands waiting.
As kaayaka is Kailaasa
even Amareeshwaralinga is included in kaayaka. / 1520
Just as moisture hides in chandrakaanta stone
goranjana in cows,
fire in stones and wood,
Amareeshwaralinga
you are hidden in the hearts of truthful
like the water of pearls. / 1521
One who grows tavanidhi,
why should he be obliged to a barn?
Should one try to please a person without desires?
Why should one trouble a devotee who does kaayaka?
This quality is far from Amareeshwaralinga. / 1522
Until ripened the fruit should retain its desire for the root.
So long as one is obliged to the mortal world
company of truthful sharanas and
continuous service of jangama should be observed
to know Amareeshwaralinga. / 1523
Taking up a vow,
entering into houses of devotees,
giving up kaayaka, and to beg for money and gold
is not the done thing for a good devotee.
That quality is far away from Amareeshwaralinga. / 1524
Bringing food from beggary and performing daasoha
is like journey of the lame.
Can a devotee be a beggar?
Having born a devotee and begging for daasoha
is no way to search salvation.
Such attempts do not touch Amareeshwaralinga. / 1525
Do devotees have poverty?
Do truthful men have karma?
Do the devotees who serve with their whole mind
have mortal world and Kailaasa?
Wherever he is, that is the holy place,
His body is always in the bliss of Amareeshwaralinga. / 1526

Uggadisuva Gubbidevayya


Doing a little kaayaka and asking for more in return-
is it truthful kaayaka?
Requesting a little from devotees for more kaayaka
purifies the mind for Amareeshwaralinga. / 1527
