    TEXT 20

    yogarato vaabhogaratovaa
    sangarato vaa sangaviihinah
    yasya brahmani ramate chittam
    nandati nandati nandatyeva

    One may take delight in yoga or bhoga, may have attachment or detachment.
    But only he whose mind steadily delights in Brahman enjoys bliss, no one
    else.

    TEXT 6

    yaavatpavano nivasati dehe


    taavatprichchhati kushalam gehe
    gatavati vaayau dehaapaaye
    bhaaryaa bibhyati tasminkaaye

    When one is alive, his family members enquire kindly about his welfare. But
    when the soul departs from the body, even his wife runs away in fear of the
    corpse.

    TEXT 15

    jatilo mundii lujnchhitakeshah


    kaashhaayaambarabahukritaveshhah
    pashyannapi cana pashyati muudhah
    udaranimittam bahukritaveshhah

    There are many who go with matted locks, many who have clean shaven
    heads, many whose hairs have been plucked out; some are clothed in
    saffron, yet others in various colors --- all just for a livelihood. Seeing truth
    revealed before them, still the foolish ones see it not.
    TEXT 14

    kaate kaantaa dhana gatachintaa


    vaatula kim tava naasti niyantaa
    trijagati sajjana sam gatiraikaa
    bhavati bhavaarnavatarane naukaa

    Oh mad man! Why this engrossment in thoughts of wealth? Is there no one to


    guide you? There is only one thing in three worlds that can save you from the
    ocean of samsara. Get into that boat of satsangha (knowledge of the Truth)
    quickly.

    EXT 11

    maa kuru dhana jana yauvana garvam


    harati nimeshhaatkaalah sarvam
    maayaamayamidam akhilaM hitvaa
    brahmapadaM tvaM pravisha viditvaa

    Do not boast of wealth, friends, and youth. Each one of these are destroyed
    within a minute. Free yourself from the illusion of the world of Maya and attain
    the timeless Truth.
    TEXT 3

    naariistanabhara naabhiidesham
    drishhtvaa maagaamohaavesham
    etanmaamsaavasaadi vikaaram
    manasi vichintaya vaaram vaaram

    Do not get drowned in delusion by going wild with passions and lust by
    seeing a woman's navel and chest. Bodies are flesh, fat and blood. Do not fail
    to remember this again and again in your mind.
    TEXT 18

    kurute gangaasaagaragamanam
    vrataparipaalanamathavaa daanam
    (na)[gyaa]navihinah sarvamatena
    bhajati na muktim janmashatena

    One may go to the Ganga, observe fasts, and give away riches in charity! Yet,
    devoid of jnana, nothing can give mukthi even at the end of a hundred births.
    TEXT 31

    praanaayaamam pratyaahaaram
    nityaanitya vivekavichaaram
    jaapyasameta samaadhividhaanam
    kurvavadhaanam mahadavadhaanam

    Regulate the pranas (life airs within), remain unaffected by external


    influences and discriminate between the real and the fleeting. Chant the holy
    name of God and silence the turbulent mind. Perform these with care, with
    extreme care.
    TEXT 9

    satsangatve nissngatvam
    nissangatve nirmohatvam
    nirmohatve nishchalatattvam
    nishcalatattve jiivanmuktih

    From Satsanga comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom


    from delusion, which leads to self-settledness. From self-settledness comes
    Jivan Mukti (liberation).

    TEXT 7
    baalastaavatkriidaasaktah
    tarunastaavattaruniisaktah
    vriddhastaavachchintaasaktah
    pare brahmani koapi na saktah

    Childhood is lost in play. Youth is lost by attachment to woman. Old age


    passes away by thinking over many past things. Alas! Hardly is there anyone
    who yearns to be lost in Parabrahman.
    TEXT 22

    punarapi jananam punarapi maranam


    punarapi jananii jathare shayanam
    iha samsaare bahudustaare
    kripayaa apaare paahi muraare

    Born again, death again, birth again to stay in the mother's womb! It is indeed
    hard to cross this boundless ocean of samsara. Oh Murari! Redeem me
    through Thy mercy.
    TEXT 1

    bhajagovindam bhajagovindam
    govindam bhajamuudhamate
