Form and Truth

மரத்தை மறைத்தது மாமத யானை

மரத்தின் மறைந்தது மாமத யானை

பரத்தை மறைத்தது பார்முதற் பூதம்

பரத்தின் மறைந்தது பார்முதற் பூதமே !

திருமூலர் , திருமந்திரம் 

A child looks at the toy elephant

and does not notice the wood it's made of!

A carpenter looks at the toy only sees the wood

And not the Elephant!

We,the ignorant children of God 

Observe the World

as made of the 5 Elements

A Jnani ,on the other hand, sees only Lord 

Everywhere - in Living and Non-Living! 

He is not aware of the material world as we see it! 

Jnani Sees the quality - One-ness

Unity in Diversity!
