Devotion Itself Liberation Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Sankara says the world is unreal,
An illusion; a product of ignorance.
Jnananda says that the world is real,
Not an illusion or of ignorance.

It's not that Shiva or Krishna spoke thus
So that we are making statement on that.
It would have been the same things even
If they have not spoken anything, he says.

The objects are seen in the Sunlight.
Seeing the object is not the proof of the Sun.
It's not that a thing is not existent
Simply because no one has perceived it.

God is not Sat-Chit-Anand conveying
As Existence-Consciousness-Bliss for him.
Distinguish not God from Shoonya-Jata-
Dukhhameaning Nothingness-Material-Pain.

God is not to be in relative term.
Devotion is the path of realization.
Bakthi is not for Mukthi and bakthi
Is an end in itself, Jnananda asserts.
