118-Ravimaatradindalla Bhuvimaatradindalla...

1.      English Translation:     The source of life in this world is not only due to the Sun, not only due to the earth. If life has to sustain on this planet there has to be contribution from both of them. Various energies and matter have to come together and become "one" to make life possible. It is a subtle point that can not be settled through logic or argument. – Mankutimma
