CROSS THE OCEAN

O ye human afflicted

with shaking palsy!

Would all your wealth

or kith and kin

prop you up tremor-free?

Realise then that

only the company

of the Virtuous

in all the three states

of your being here

would be the raft

enabling you

to cross the turbulent

ocean of Birth…

[From Bhaja Govindam in Sanskrit by ADI SANKARAR (788 - 820) rendered into English by Sage TGN]
