one who renounces all desires and moves without
longing, who has given up ego and
possessiveness— such a person attains true peace,
o bharata.
this is the state of brahman—supreme realization.
one who attains it is free from delusion. even at the
time of death, holding to this state, one reaches
liberation in brahman.
let us remain in the company of the lord’s feet,
always together.
let us stay united in devotion to the lord’s feet.
let us build strength and wealth through noble
deeds, together.
let this sacred bond never be broken.
be radiant and full of life, let your life always be
noble— never let your mind be divided or filled
with hostility.
the one who enters the heart silently,
whose speech brings life and inspires inner
brilliance, who resides in every atom,
whose breath carries divine power— to that lord
of strength, to purushottam, we offer our
salutations.
