Recited few poems of Yogi Vemana in my childhood. Actually had to, as there was no other option left... Today if you ask, I enjoy even the thought of it... :)
Uppu kappurambu nokka polika nundu
Uppu kappurambu nokka polika nundu
Chooda chooda ruchulu jaada veru
Purushulandu punya purushulu veraya
Viswadhaabhiraama, Vinura Vema
Salt and camphor look similar,
but closer observation shows their taste is different
Among men, virtuous people stand apart
Beloved of the Bounteous, Vema, listen!
Medi pandu chooda melimaiyundu
Potta vippi chooda purugulundu
Pirikivani madibinkamilagura
Viswadhaabhiraama, Vinura Vema
Medi, a fruit, looks gorgeous externally,
but when we rip it, we find worms within.
In a similar manner, a coward appears brave outside, but in reality he is not.
Beloved of the Bounteous, Vema, listen!
Aathmashudhdhi leni yaachaaramadhiyela?
Bhaandashudhdhi leni paakamela?
Chiththashudhdhi leni shivapoojalelaraa?
Viswadhaabhiraama, Vinura Vema
What is the purpose of custom sans inner purity?
What is the purpose of cooking sans cleanliness of vessels?
What is the purpose of worship of Shiva sans purity of mind?
Beloved of the Bounteous, Vema, listen!
