55 & 56 Kurudanina chandraranu kaNNinda kaaNuvanE?---

 
 English Translation   55.       O! Mankutimma, Will a blind person see the Sun or the Moon? He can know about them only by the heat or cold that he feels. Similarly, one can know about the eternal truth subtle experiences of his mind.
[Translator's note: Again, stress is laid on the inadequacy of the senses in the search for the ultimate truth. It is accessible only through extra sensory experiences in one's mind.]

2.       56.O! Mankutimma, the joy of the stars, the chaos of this world, the agony of those who are buried below - these are the three voices that my heart hears. The voices are all telling different things and it is utter chaos - as if a village market.
