The eating bowl is not one bronze
By Basava(1134 - 1196)
English version by A. K. Ramanujan
The eating bowl is not one bronzeand the looking glass another. Bowl and mirror are one metal Giving back light one becomes a mirror. Aware, one is the Lord's; unaware, a mere human. Worship the lord without forgetting, the lord of the meeting rivers.
