1.Never lose heart while pursuing the path of trust. Live a principled life – Lord Basavanna.
2.Don’t treat me like a stranger. Regard me as Thy man alone. Consider me as none but Thy son. O Lord, Kudala Sangama – Lord Basavanna.
3.Live morally. Do not aspire for other’s wealth, women and god – Lord Basavanna.
4.Happy Basava Jayanti!
5.My actions go one way, another way my speech! Look, lord, there is no trace of purity in me! Where action fitting to the word is found, there, truly, Lord Kudala Sangama dwells – Lord Basavanna.
6.In a brahmin house where they feed the fire as a god when the fire goes wild and burns the house they splash on it the water of the gutter and the dust of the street, beat their breasts and call the crowd. These men then forget their worship and scold their fire, O Lord of the meeting rivers! – Lord Basavanna.
7.Make your body the temple of God – Lord Basavanna.
8.Earn wealth through honest and truthful work - – Lord Basavanna.
