That We Should Make the Most of It

English Translation · I.P. 820

IET the body be treated with respect, for thereJ by we attain to all happiness, through the recitation of his name. Where there is a glimpse of Brahma, and duality has vanished, the body has become the image of Brahma. Men may perform every rite of worship, sacrifice and austerity; but they are robbed of all merit by wandering thoughts. Tuka says, Lo ! perfect delight is here; cast far away all hesitation and behold it. THE WORLD

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
