૧૪૧ And of a saint who is devoted to : His ‘soul', which is beautiful,
blissful and true'. 34 Distracted and drawn in hundred directions, Restlessly involved in hundreds of actions, Driven by passions and devoid of peace, A man with a mind which is never at ease, Loses the wisdom he may have once had To discern the good from that which is bad. To a thoughtless being, ever unstable, The truth' in his heart turns unattainable. 35 On tasting the pleasures of pacification, Of sensual cravings and intense passion, Even in its most microscopic part, Utter distaste for them fills the heart. When you experience the ultimate bliss Of 'self-absorption' and eternal peace, O being! Do tell me, what does remain That you may desire to try and obtain?
