Interpretation
Sunset in Agumbe
Sunrise in Dronagiri Hills
Music of Tyagaraja & poetry of Valmiki
Our senses perceive all of the above to be a thing of beauty and are all a source of great happiness in our mind
Mankutimma, while anyone who is fortunate to get such experiences as above & feel happy, it is only the Man whose senses have been honed to go beyond these ethereal experiences and recognise that the source of this happiness is nothing but the Eternal Truth? The feeling that we experience when we sense any of the above is unique & not sensed in other life circumstances…recognise the real Truth amongst your life experiences.
