So long as there is perception of pain and pleasure, so long Prdravdha exists ; these results are preceded by Karma for one devoid of Karma they connot be anywhere. 450 By the knowledge that I (the Logos) am Brahm, the Karma acquired in a thousand millions of kalpas is extinguish ed, as is the Karma of dream life on awaking. 450 Whatever is clone, whether manifestly good or bad in dreams — how is it (efficacious) for the going to heaven or hell of the dreamer awakened ? t Impressions remaining unconsciously in the mind from past Karma. CHARAPATAPANJARI OF Srimat Sankaracharya iranslatedby J. N. Parmanand. I saluto the glorious Ganesk. "Worship god, Oh foolish man, worship god. When death approaches, the study of grammar will not save you. The child is absorbed in play, the young man is attached to the young woman, the old man is lost in anxiety, and none devotes himself to the Great Brahma, Wor ship &c. 2. The body has become impaired, the head heavy, and the mouth toothless, the old man goes stick in hand, yet hope does not leave him. Worship &c. 3. (Dead) persons are born again and die again and again lie in the wombs of their mothers or this insurmountable world ; save me, Oh Lord by Your Grace, take me to the opposite shore Worship &c. 4. Day and night, morning and evening, winter and spring come round (in succession) ; time passes on and life is spent! but hope does not leave man. Worship &c. 5. Man keeps clotted hair or shaves his head bald, puts on dress of a reddish colour ; he sees and is yet blind and dis guises himself variously for the sake of his belly. Worship &c. 6. Where is passion when youth is gone, what is the lake when its water dries up, where is the band of dependents when wealth is exhausted, and what is the world when the reality is known. Worship &c. 7. In his front is fire, on the back sun-shine, at night he puts his knees to his chest, he begs and lives beneath a tree, yet desires do not leave him. Worship &c. 8. So long as he is engaged in earning money his dependents affectionately follow him ; when he becomes disabled in body he is not cared for at home. Worship &c. 9. It is (like) a sheet of rags joined together ; a path in which merit and demerit are alike neglected. There is neither you ( 161 ) nor I nor a third person, why then are you aggrieved. Wor ship &c. 10. On seeing the breasts and hips of women you fondly become attached to them, but consider constantly that they are merely forms of flesh, fat &c. Worship &c. 1 1. The Gita should be sung, the almighty should be constantly meditated upon, the mind should be devoted to the company of the good, and money should be given to the poor. Wor ship &c. 12. Whoever has studied the Gita a little, has drunk a particle of the waters of the Ganges, and has worshipped god, him does Yama investigate into (? his couduct) ? Worship &c., 13- Who am I, who are you, whence have you come, who is my mother, who is my father. Leaving aside all unreal dreams consider this. Worship &c. 14. Who is your wife, who is your son, this world is very curious whence have you* come ; Oh brother consider the reality in your mind. Worship &c. 15. One's habitation should be the foot of a tree on the banks of the Ganges, bed the surface of the earth, clothes a deerskins all objects of enjoyment should be abandoned ; to whom does such abandonment of the world not give happiness, Wor ship, FOR ?
