BHAJA GOVINDAM

BHAJA GOVINDAM

STANZA 2

Give up, O fool, your thirst to amass wealth, devote your mind to the thoughts of the Real, let dispassion fill your mind.  Be content with what comes through actions already performed in the past.

If man has lot of wealth, he utilizes it for the pleasures and sense gratifications.  wealth by itself is innocuous.

Adi Shankara wants us to give up the thirst for wealth.

Being in the world, we have to give up only our greed and covetousness.

This mental renunciation at once brings peace of mind and happiness and slowly leads us to immortality.

” Not by rituals, not by progeny, not by wealth, but by renunciation along some attained Immortality.”
