Becoming sky & earth

by Manikkavacakar
(9th Century) Timeline

Original Language
Tamil
Yoga / Hindu : Shaivite (Shiva)
9th Century

Becoming sky & earth
Wind & light
Becoming flesh & spirit
All that truly is
& all that which is not
Becoming the Lord,
He makes those who say,
"I" & "mine"
Dance in the show
Becoming sky
& standing there...
How can my words
praise Him?
