When one thinks a lot and speaks (like the sages did) their words will have more than one meaning - one that is apparent and simple, and another which is involved and mysterious. Understanding both will help us cross this ocean of samsaara (worldly miseries) - just like the boat requires both the sail (apparent) and the rudder (hidden) to move.

ಆಳವನು ನೋಡಿ ಬಗೆದಾಡುವ ಮಾತಿಂಗೆ ।
ರೂಢಿಯರ್ಥವದೊಂದು ಗೂಢಾರ್ಥವೊಂದು ॥
ವಾರಿಧಿಯ ದಾಂಟುವುಡುಪಕೆ ಗಾಳಿಪಟವೊಂದು ।
ಕೋಲು ಹುಟ್ಟೊಂದು ಬಲ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥ ೫೫೮ ॥

ನಿಶಿಯೊಳೇಂ ಕಾಣಬಾರನು ಹಗಲನೊಲ್ಲದೊಡೆ ।
ಶಶಿರವಿಗಳವನ ಮನೆಕಿಟಕಿಯಾಗಿರರೇಂ? ॥
ಮಸಕುಬೆಳಕೊಂದಾದ ಸಂಜೆಮಂಜೇನವನು ।
ಮಿಸುಕಿ ಸುಳಿಯುವ ಸಮಯ? - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥ ೪೦ ॥

If he feels that daytime has too much light to his comfort, why does he not be seen even at night? Does he follow times according to cycles of Sun or Moon? Is the only time that he sneaks out when daylight fades into twilight?
