Oh! Foolish creature, recite the glorious names of Lord Govinda and worship him, learning the
rules of Grammar /Vykarana will not save you at the time of death. Its absolute foolishness to crave for
the accumulation of wealth, immerse your mind into the knowledge about the
reality and be satisfied with what may come as fruit of past Karma. Oh! foolish creature, do not forget that the
lustful features of a women, her bosom and navel are just a matter of flesh;
don’t get drowned in to the world of illusion. Life is uncertain like droplets in the
lotus leaf, understand that the whole world is a prey to grief, sorrows,
illnesses and ego. An
individual will be treated with respect and love as long he provides wealth to
the family, but once he is afflicted with the illnesses due to old age no one
will be there to show kindness to him. When
a person is alive, the whole family members will inquire about his welfare, but
when his soul depart from the body, even his wife will be scared to stand
beside him and will be treated as mere corpse. The childhood days are wrapped up with
the playful acts, adulthood days are lost in the lustful thought about the
women, old age passes with various thoughts, it’s pathetic to know that hardly
anyone immerse in the thought of ‘Brahmam’. This Samsara/material life is bizarre,
who is your wife? Who is your son? Who are you? Where did you com from? Ponder
over these ultimate truths. The
detachment comes from the association of Satsang/people who have Sathvik gunas/ thoughts; detachment causes freedom from delusion which leads to inner peace,
ultimately into the state of liberation. When will you understand the fact that
the lust lingers on until the time of youthfulness; a dried lake has no
use, a wealth less person will have no relatives of his own in this world, Oh! poor creature, understand the ultimate truth and free from your illusion, do not
praise about your wealth or friends or your youth, it is perishable in any
moment. The time
plays its major role, just like the daylight into darkness, dawn into dusk,
winter into spring, but the storm of our desires never ends. The above enthralling twelve verses
were advised to a grammarian by Srimad Shankara Bhagavadpada.
Oh! Foolish creature, why are you so absorbed in the thought of accumulation of wealth? Is there no one to guide you? There is only one thing that protects
you in the three worlds from the ocean of material world/world of Samsara, get
yourself into the ferry of association with virtuous people /Satsang. Some people may wander with matted
hair locks, some with clean shaven head and some are clothed in saffron colored
attire or various colors to earn livelihood, some people never understand the
truth and remain fools. The
charm and strength leaves the body of an old person and evident mark of old age
appears like head becomes bald, toothless and physically weak to move etc.. But
his attachment towards the material life remains the same and yearns for
fruitless desires. Though
an individual warm up in the night hours to protect from the cold, consumes
food given as alms and relax under the shadow of the tree, but his heart is
always a miserable puppet in the hands of passion. An unintelligent cannot attain
salvation even at the end of hundredth of births, though he performs holy bath
in the river Ganga, undergo fasting and perform abundance of charities without
the knowledge of Brahmam. An
ascetic who sleeps in a shrine or under the shadow of tree, who attired in deer
skin and sleeps on the ground embracing mother Earth, who gave up all comforts
and luxuries and lives a life of austere would never fail to attain
contentment. The knower of
Brahma attains extreme bliss whether he is a yogi or bhogi, attached or
detached. An
individual who recite a little portion of Gita, or consume a drop of water from
the holy river Ganga and venerate Lord Murari once in life time will have no
fear of Lord Yama. Oh! Lord
Murari, I have been born again and again in the mother’s womb and have gone
through the endless hardships in the ocean of Samsara, alleviate my miseries
with your boundless compassion. There
is no scarcity of attire for a monk, who lives in the constant communion of
God, abandon the vice and virtues, immersed in the self-knowledge and supreme
knowledge remains unblemished and enjoys the bliss; he remains like an innocent
child in a state of ecstasy. Who
am I? Where did I come from? Who are my parents? Ponder over the above and it
will seem to be insignificant, eventually gives up the world as an idle dream. Lord Vishnu dwells in all
our hearts, anger and impatience are groundless; all we need to have
tranquility to attain the status of Lord Vishnu. Do not waste your energy on winning
your love or fighting against friends and foe or children and relatives,
witness the supreme soul in everyone and give up the feeling of duality. The fools are forbidden to have the
self-realization, ultimately cast into hell and suffer the hellish tortures, so
give up lust, greed, anger and infatuation, ponder over your real nature. Engage yourself in reciting Gita,
meditate upon Lord Sripathi and chant his thousands of glorious names and take
pleasure in the association of noble and holy and distribute your wealth to
poor and needy. The one who
succumb to lust and gratifying sensual pleasures would leave his body as a prey
to illnesses. Though
the death brings an end to life, the Karma/fruit of action continues. Remember, wealth is not everything,
it’s not the joy or welfare, a wealthy person frights the threat from his own
son, this is how the wealth plays its role in life. Practice the custom of Pranayama and
Prathyahara with extreme care, remain unaffected by the evil influences, aware
of the real and the fleeting things, control your mind and recite the glorious
names of Lord, meditate
upon the lotus feet of your Preceptor; you will be free from the world of
material life instantly and experience the presence of Supreme Lord in your heart with
controlled mind and disciplined senses. Thus
a silly grammarian who had narrow vision was purified and attained the light of
wisdom by the disciple of Adishankara. Oh! poor soul, don’t be a fool, venerate Lord Govinda and recite his glorious names,
it is the only solution to cross the ocean of material world.
