ಭಿತ್ತಿಯೊಂದಿಲ್ಲದಿರೆ ಚಿತ್ರವೆಂತಿರಲಹುದು? ।
ಚಿತ್ರವಿಲ್ಲದ ಭಿತ್ತಿ ಸೊಗಸಹುದದೆಂತು? ॥
ನಿತ್ಯ ಸತ್ತ್ವವೆ ಭಿತ್ತಿ, ಜೀವಿತ ಕ್ಷಣಚಿತ್ರ ।
ತತ್ತ್ವವೀ ಸಂಬಂಧ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥ ೧೦೫ ॥

💡 How can the painting be there when there is no canvas? What is the joy in a canvas without the painting? The essence of truth is the canvas and the interesting painting is the life that we see on it which lasts a mere second. Our existence is in this relation between the canvas and the painting. - Mankutimma

💡 What can be known is just an island in the vast ocean of the unknown. Mind weaves a vail of illusion over the body - like a cloud over a mountain. What is the use of knowing, measuring all that can be measured while there is a vast scape of unmeasurable out there? The world is an interesting illusion created by this mixture of the measurable and the immesurable. - Mankutimma.

💡 This body can be seen, measured and determined. The mind inside the body is quite the opposite; cannot be seen, measured or determined for certain. One can count and visualise the strengths of the muscles of the body. The life essence that makes them work is neither seen nor can be measured. A person is always a mixture of these measurable and immeasurable entities; only such a mixture makes him complete and interesting. Same is true for this world also. - Mankutimma

💡 In a huge undivided ocean of knowledge about true essence, this world is a small island that we do not understand. For a learned (pure) eye, these both are one and the same. The supreme being is what is hidden beneath all these forms. - Mankutimma.

💡 If one stands on the sea shore and watches either side; he sees one side (sea) moving, the other (land) stands still. One side is plain and other side has variety. Just like the such unlikes meet, this world is a amalgamation of things that we can see (and measure) and things that are beyond measure. Such blending creates this tasteful world. - Mankutimma
