    The document contains a collection of poems/verses by Allamaprabhu discussing concepts like the nature of the divine, illusion, enlightenment, and non-duality. Some key ideas discussed are: - Realizing the formless divine called Guheshwara which remains untouched within the body. - Desiring and imagining are wrong, it is better to die than have such feelings. - For those who have realized Guheshwara, there is no need for ritual worship or testing, as pure gold needs no testing stone. - One must look beyond illusion and duality, as it is not possible to be separated from Guheshwara.

    They do not know what it is.

    They do not know how it is.


    They say they have realization.
    They say they are rid of ignOrance.
    If you say you know the one, it has three faces.
    If one does not transform the three faces into one
    one is not a sharana, Guheshwara. - Allamaprabhu/483

    I came in the company of the five,


    I stood in the company of the five.
    All the five vanished in their own way,
    I remained solitary.
    I have seen the eternal,
    the formless sublime called Guheshwara. - Allamaprabhu/484

    Residing within the body


    being the main stay of the body
    yet remaining untouched by the body
    look at the way it lights up the body!
    Look at the way as light it lights up light!
    Look at the untainted supreme power of Guheshwaralinga. - Allamaprabhu/485

    If the fruit is forcibly ripened


    how can it be tasty?
    Desiring, imagining, designing
    that is wrong.
    Guheshwara, it is better to die
    than to have such feelings. - Allamaprabhu/486

    For a union of love


    is there need of a bed?
    For one who is tempted
    is there any shame for him?
    For a sharana who has realized you
    is there need of ritual worship?
    Does pure gold need the testing stone?
    Does Guheshwaralinga need a sign? - Allamaprabhu/487

    Can one eat the fruit along with the seed?


    Can linga be realized along with body qualities?
    Unless the armor is torn the weapon cannot assault the body.
    Look, Ambigara Choudayya,
    unless one is aware of this perception
    one cannot know our Guheshwaralinga. - Allamaprabhu/488

    Reading and reading


    the Vedas ended in argument.
    Listening and listening Shastras ended in doubts.
    Knowing and knowing Agamas ended in spreading wide.
    The query of who I am and who you are
    leads to Brahma being nothing but a void, Guheshwara. - Allamaprabhu/489

    What is this darkness before the eyes?


    What is this illusion before the mind?
    It is a battlefield within and decoration without.
    What is the meaning of this trodden path, Guheshwara? - Allamaprabhu/490

    Whatever they see becomes holy.


    Whatever we hear from them is holy.
    Their touch is the touch of parusha.
    Those that get immediate response become redeemed souls.
    Their movement makes the world holy.
    The earth they trod becomes sacred place.
    The water they touch becomes holy waters.
    Those who surrendered and worship become liberated souls.
    Guheshwara, the beauty of your presence cannot be described. - Allamaprabhu/491

    That I have seen is the illusion of the eyes.


    That I cannot see is the illusion of the mind.
    That I am united is the illusion of knowledge.
    That I am separated is the illusion of ignorance.
    This seeing, not seeing, uniting and separating,
    if you consider without illusion, o mother, listen,
    it is not possible at all to be separated from Guheshwara. - Allamaprabhu/492
