kalatram dhanam putrapautradi sarvam
griham bandhavah sarvametaddhi jatam |
masashcenna lagnam guroranghripadme
tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim ||
2. Wife, wealth, sons, grandsons and all such; home and kindred; the host of all these things may be there; but if one's mind be not centred upon the lotus feet of the Guru, what then, what then, what then?
sadangadivedo mukhe shastravidya
kavitvadi gadyam supadyam karoti |
manashcenna lagnam guroranghripadme
tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim ||
3. The Vedas with their six limbs and the knowledge of all sciences may be on one's lips; one may possess the poetic gift and may compose fine prose and poetry; but if one's mind be not centred upon the lotus feet of the Guru, what then, what then, what then?
videsheshu manyah svadesheshu dhanyah
sadaccaravritteshu matto na canyah |
manashcenna lagnam guroranghripadme
tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim ||
4. I am honoured in other lands and I am prosperous in my homeland; in the paths of righteous conduct there is none who surpasses me; thus one may think; but if one's mind be not centred upon the lotus feet of the Guru, what then, what then, what then?
