Songs of Saint Tayumanavar

Songs of Tayumanavar

Desire that is so Known (12/40)

If Thou art the Cosmos;
If Thou art the Atom;
If Thou art the One Life
Behind the countless lives;
Who is it that saw Thee?
Who is it that heard of Thee?
Only Thyself can see Thyself.
How can Thou be seen with my knowledge?
Thou, who danceth the nadanta
And bodhanta dance of silentness
In the city of World's Heart *[1]
Adored by Vishnu of fragrant tulsi garland,
And His son Brahma
And consort Lakshmi.
Oh! Thou, the Purity Existence!
