Basavanna Vachana — On Hospitality

What have you got to lose In offering a kind word of greeting to the visitor? Will your floor develop a crack Were you to ask him to be seated? Would it cause your head or stomach to burst To greet your visitor at once upon sighting? Who cares if you have nothing to offer? But will not Lord Kudalasangama put you to shame If you have no character?

Basavanna Vachana — On Moral Discipline

Do not steal, do not kill, Do not utter the untruth. Never be angry, never hate others. Do not boast about yourself or criticize anyone. This is the way to cleanse the soul. This is the way to cleanse the body. This is the way to please our Lord Kudalasangama.
