96-SatyavembudEnu bhrahmaanDa tanDavadi...

Translation: O! Mankutimma, What is the truth in this world run by the cosmic dance? What we think as truth is not the real or complete truth in this life that behaves like waves at the ocean - temporary, but endless. If we say everything is a lie/illusion, then we open the door for that hypothesis to be false also. All we can confirm as truth is that "we are alive at this moment". The whole show is choreographed by the Creator.
