Transcend by Yoga or Bhaja Govindam IV
suramandiratarumülanivásaç
ùayyá bhütalam ajinam vásaç
sarvaparigrahabhogatyágaç
kasya sukham na karoti virágaç.
Renouncing all, he gains all
Living in temples
Or at the foot of tree
Sleeping on ground
Wearing deer skin
Mentally renouncing
All Bhoga, enjoyments
All possessions worldly
Bliss accrues to such !
yogarato vá bhogarato vá
sañgarato va sañgavihènaç
yasya brahmaïni ramate cittam
nandati nandati nandaty-eva.
Indulgence in sense pleasures
Finding pleasure in company
Or in solitude
Or in concentration
He alone can be happy
Who revels in Absolute Self !
bhagavadgètá kiòcid-adhitá
gañgáialalavakaïiká pètá,
sakûød-api yena murári-samarcá
kriyate tasya yamena na carcá.
A glimpse of Geeta Holy
Intake of a drop of Ganges
Worship of Destroyer of Ignorance
Yama, Death cannot claim him !
punarapi jananam punarapi masraïam
punarabi jananè-jaûhare ùayanam,
iha samsáre bahu-dustáre
køpaya' páre páhi muráre
Cycle of Transmigration
Birth, death and rebirth
Is unsurmountable, it seems !
Lots of ills characterise this world
Yearn for Absolute Love !
rathyá-carpata-viracita-kanthaç
puïyápuïya-vivarjita-panthaç,
yogi yoga-niyojita-citto
ramate bálonmattavad-eva
Like an innocent child
Or as a man gone nuts
The Yogi revels
In the Bliss of the Self !
His dress may mask
His wisdom and knowledge !
tvayi mayi cányatraiko viúïur-
vyartham kupyasi maasahiúïuç,
sarvasminnapi paùyátmánam
sarvatrotsøja bhedájòánam
In me, you , everywhere
There is only Self !
Thou gets angry with me
For nothing !
See the Self in all
Leave off Ignorance, Avidya
Ignorance which binds
Soul to body
Ignorance which makes us think
Ùatrau mitre putre bandhau
má kuru yatnam vigrahasandhau,
bhava samacittaç sarvatra tvam
vánchasyacirád yadi viúïutvam
Treat friends and enemies same
If you want divinehood
Be equal minded to all
Self is equal and Absolute !
geyam gètánámasahasram
dhyeyam ùrèpatirüpam ajasram
neyam sajjana-sañge cittam
deyam dènajanáya ca vittam
Recite the Holy Geeta
And the Thousand Names
Of the Lord of the Universe !
Be with the wise
And donate wealth to poor !
sukhataç kriyate rámábhogaç
paùcáddhanta ùarère rogaç
yadyapi loke maraïam ùaraïam
tapapi na muòcati pápácaraïam.
He who is a Bhogi
Soon becomes a Rogi
Bhoga is Roga
Can only be cured by Yoga
Death comes as welcome release
To the Bhogi !
práïáyámam pratyáháram
nityánityavivekavicáram,
jápyasametasamádhividhánam
kurvavadhánam mahadavadhánam.
Regulation of breath
Withdrawal of senses
Discriminative enquiry
About Reality and the unreal
Mantra chanting for mind control
Perform these practices Yogic !
