Bhaja Govindam Moodamathe

Bhaja Govindam Moodamathe!

the self is not the self we think it is..,
we think of the body, the flesh...
think of the immortal self..
the self is the him, the him is the self...
every molecule in the world is made up of the same "him"..,it's just that it's manifested into flesh in the body and remains as a stone in the stone..

the guru Shankara speaks :

and thefore realize oh fool,
the world is an illusion,

Bhaja Govindam
Bhaja Govindam
Govindam Bhaja Moodamathe..

bálastávat kridásaktas
tarunastávat tarunisaktaç
vrddhastávac-cintá saktaç
parebrahama ko'pi na saktaç

When a boy, one is attached to sport;
when a youth, one is attached to as young woman;
when old. one is attached to anxiety;
to the supreme Brahman, no one, alas, is attached!

ká te kánte kaste putra
samsáro'yam atèva vicitraç,
kasya tvam kaç kuta áyátas
tattvam cintaya tadihaq, bhrátah.

Who is your wife? Who is your son?
Exceedingly wonderful, indeed, is this empirical process!
Of whom are you? Who are you? Whence have you come?
O brother, think of that truth here.

I bow to you guru shankara, the unfathomable ocean of knowledge. - Sudhir
