That We Should Make the Most of It

English Translation · I.P. 838

THROW some food to your desires, so far as suffices to keep you alive. This will prove that Narayana has entered you; for peace of mind is the mark of his presence. I meditate continually on this theme, duly reflecting on the distinct nature of the self. Tuka says, If we turn to adore him, we shall find that he is near us.

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