Poem on Maha Sivarathri 2011 by Srinivas Kanchibhotla

Devotion (bhakti) and knowledge (gnaanamu) are often considered as the prime routes to salvation. But what is devotion? Is it just an unwavering allegiance to a form or an idea, or is it more a means to an end, a way to achieve the recognition of one-ness with the world, where the devotee finds himself in everything, and everything in himself? So 'bhakti' in the purest form would lead to enlightenment, love, a realization, or in short, knowledge (gnaanamu). And what is knowledge? Where does the process of understanding more and more about the world, about oneself, lead to? The downside with approaching salvation (which is again a variant of understanding) strictly from knowledge perspective is the realization of its inherent limitation of how much the physical senses can make sense out of the creation. At some point, knowledge merges with faith to complement its understanding. Thus, both devotion and knowledge complete each other and one could not exist in substitution of the other, reflecting the 'adwaita' philosophy of one-ness.
