This body ends in dust.
He who yields to lust,
Turns a prey to disease
And other sinful vices.
Wealth is not welfare.
It’ll land you in fear,
That haunts a rich man,
Even against his son.
Regulate your breath,
That’s good for health.
You must be a subject
Not affected by any object.
Understand what’s real
And the fleeting unreal?
Chant the God’s name
To keep your mind calm.
To our respected teacher
And the benevolent preacher,
“Free us from this bondage,
That behaves like a mirage.”
With your disciplined mind,
And senses, you can find
The Lord in your heart,
That’ll bring peace a lot.
Worship the Lord of Lords,
Worship the Lord of Lords,
To cross this life-ocean
The only way that’s known.
CONCLUDED
Note:
Thus the grammarian was
Humbled by Adi Shankara
and his disciples.
This adoption in simple
English verses can never
replace the original Sanskrit
Version,2000 years old,
stuffed with morals for all
the ages past and yet to come..
Millions have heard and
are still listening to this
divine song sung by the
Queen of Music, the great
M.S. Subbalakshmi.
Mahatma Gandhiji loved
this song very much and
found peace in his life.
