Poem 277

ప్రేమరూపంబు బ్రహ్మంబు ప్రేమమయముప్రేమ ప్రేమతొ సంధింప నీమమగునుకాన ప్రేమను గట్టిగా కల్గియున్నఅద్వితీయమునొందగ అర్హుడగును.

In plain words

Brahman is of the form of Prema, full of Prema; to join Prema with Prema is the rule; and so whoever keeps a firm hold on Prema is fit to reach the Non-dual.
