Passage 1

śabdabrahmamayī carācaramayī jyōtirmayī vāṅmayī

From the Mīnākṣī Stotram, verse 8

Also in his talks (15)

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

She who is Śabda Brahman, who is all that moves and is still, who is light, who is speech, who is eternal Ānanda, who is beyond the highest, who is Māyā, who is Śrī, who is the eight glories, who is Sadāśiva, who is Śrī Śiva-Śakti Sāī.

Embodiments of …!

God, in eight forms, endowed with the eight glories, … pervading creation everywhere. ‘Pervading all this, within and without, Nārāyaṇa abides’: so where is … God, who is there wherever one looks? In milk, butter is present in every single drop. But the … that is in every drop, to bring it into one part, vari nannu: only when we turn it into curd, churn it well and work it … in every way does the butter that was there before, the butter that pervaded everything, take on oneness and … . In just the same way, God who is everywhere, … who is in all living beings: we must churn the all-pervading God with the heart, carry out sādhanas with mental …s, and attain the true vision of Him. Crying ‘God, God’ and … , God does not come to us.

What is called God is not in some other land apart; God dwells in one's own body itself. What is called sin is not in some foreign land apart; it clings to the deeds one does.

… all the bad things are only the fruits of our own conduct. Only when we gain good conduct do we experience a good … . Only one who has Manas is a man. Without Manas there is no man at all. And Manas is …? Here is a cloth. Cloth is simply threads joined together. Without thread there is no cloth. Thread is the very form of cotton. There is no thread without cotton. Without thread there is no garment. In the same way, without … there are no desires. Without desires there is no Manas. This Manas is nothing but the … form of desires blended together.

When each thread is drawn out on its own, the cloth is no more. To keep our desires somewhat in check and to live our life, in a fitting way, as an ideal life: that is the special divinity of being human.
