 Dear Members,

To depict this in a clear & simple/layman's language, there was one Vaggeyakara (folk singer) few decades back namely Sh. Tallapaka annamacharya S/o Smt. TarIgonda Vegamamba in the village "TALLAPAKA".
It is from TTD-Tiruputhi Balaji samsthanam's Nada Neerajanams's Project from SBC-TTD Channel:

ThisKeertana is one of the best and most popular compositions of Saint Annamayya in which he describes the universal truthof oneness and omnipresence of God in all the creatures alike. TheKeertana is sung in Bouli / Mayamalava Goula Ragam.
Pallavi: Tandanana Ahi Tandanana Pure Tandanana Bhala Tandanana
Brahmamokkate Parabrahma Mokkate Prabrahmamokkate Prabrahmamokkate
Meaning: The word 'tandanana' is a slang used in the local folklore togive a rhythmic punch to the folk music. While the words 'ahi' 'pure' and'bhala' are words of appreciation in the local language (different dialects ofTelugu). The second line describes the oneness of God.
Charanam: Kanduvagu Heenadhikamu Lindu Levu Andariki Srihare Antaratma
Indulo Jantu Kulaminta Nokkate Andariki Srihare Antaratma

Charanam: Nindara Raju Nidrinchu Nidrayu Nokkate Andane Bantu NidraAdiyyu Nokkate   Mendaina BrahmanuduMettubhoomi Yokkate Chandalu Dundeti Saribhoomi Yokkate
Meaning:  The land on which therichest King and a servant sleep is the same. So also, the land on which the person witha noble birth (like Brahmin in the Hindu caste system) anda 'chandala' (person of the lowest caste who is engaged in filthy work)walk is the same.
Charanam; Anugu Devatalakunu Alakama Sukhamokate Ghanakeeta PasuvulakuKamasukha Mokate Dinamaho Ratramulu Tegi Dhanadyudanakokate Vonara NirupedakunuVokate Aviyou
Meaning:  The sensual pleasure isthe same for the 'devatas' / the super humans and it is the same evenfor the sub humans like the smallest of small creatures. So alsothe day and night are same be it for the wealthiest one or for the poorest ofpoor.
Charanam: Korali Sishtanammulu Gonu Nakalokate Tirugu Dushtannamulu TinuNakalokate  Paraga DurgandamulapaiVayunokate Varusa Barimalamupai Vayunokate
Meaning: The tongue that tastes the delicious food or the junk food isthe same. So also the air that carries the foul smell from an objector the nice fragrance from the other object, is the same.
Charanam:Kadigi Yenugumeeda Gayu Yendokate Pudami SunakamumeedaBolayunedokate Kadu Punyulanu Papakarmulanu Sarigava Jadiyu Sri VenkatesuNamamokate
