Brooding of God alone is lasting refuge
for mankind. That alone is controlloing
our prosperity on earth and heaven. It
paves way to relief from hardships of
wordly life.

##
IshvaraH prANavAyuriva bhavati |
taM draShTuM na pArayasi | paraM
taM vinA jIvitumapyasAdhyam || ##
God is like Oxygen.
You can't see Him
But you can't live without him.

What is before the eyes will soon disappear.
How will one know what is unseen?
One thinks of a certain thing and
               something else happens.
This world is just a stage of illusions.
##
brahma satyaM jaganmithyA ##
God is real, the world is an illusion
##

You are not in the universe
You are the universe
##

sAhasramapi bhUyAddashaguNitaM
AshAnAmiha nahi parimANam || ##
One who gets ten wishes for a hundred.
Then the yearnung is for a thousand and then
tenfold of that.  Ambition is unfathmoable.
##

You have a right to perform your duty,
but you are not entitled to the fruits of action
##

Don't beg for what you may not get with
dissatisfaction for what you got.
Keep doing what you should.
God will bless you with the benefits.
