Is knowledge male or female?

Goggavve

Man gets the woman he pursues
It is called adornment
Woman gets the man she pursues
What would they call it?
Lose this duality, be content
Nasthinatha is perfect!

~~

When breasts and braid grow
They say, woman
When mustache and beard grow
They say, man
This knowledge of duality
Is it male or female?
O Lord of nothingness!

~

Vachana writer Dhupada Goggavve, the one who offers incense.
