Treasure in the Ground
by Akka MahadeviEnglish version by A. K. Ramanujan
Original Language Kannada
Like
treasure hidden in the ground
taste in the fruit
gold in the rock
oil in the seed
the Absolute hidden away
in the heart
no on can know
the ways of our lord
white as jasmine.
-- from Speaking of Siva, by A K Ramanujan |
