Always love or like, all alike, Kin or none, friend or foe; hate none, Lift yourself above all weakness, Emerge strong & hit the ultimate goal. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 25 Purge yourself out and converge pure; Free from lust, greed, anger & delusion. Look behind the eye for truth beyond, Unscathed by matter that does not matter Believe in boundless bliss beyond 26 Cultivate prayer of the ultimate Supreme Be good, do good and go with the good No good to amass wealth without sharing The poor and destitute deserve a better deal Believe in boundless bliss beyond 27 Absorbed in pursuit of carnal desires, Life culminates to cease in disease, Mind is blind and blank of virtues till end, Sins & sinners rule the roost without end. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 28 Wealth that reigns is none but one that ruins, Rich are frightened by the shadows they cast, Joy of pelf pales off in hoarding and hiding, Spiritual health is holier than physical wealth Believe in boundless bliss beyond 29 Regulate breath, sensitize sense, Condition the body and soul, Through meditation and prayer, Free the fickle mind to firm up, And search for eternal delight. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 30 Stir up your inner eye more focused, Behold; the Lord lives in your heart, All you need is a mentor that helps, To liberate yourself from material life, And capture the rapture all abound. Believe in boundless bliss beyond 31 Worship of the Lordship is the only ship To cruise and cross the ocean of life, Be it chanting sacred hymns in extol, Or be it a service to untidy society, The essence of life is to transcend, And attain Supreme above the self. Believe in boundless bliss beyond. 32

Sriman Aadi Shankaracharya of 8th century, a renowned sage and saint of Indian sub-continent is an avid exponent of Hindu divine philosophy that encompasses the tenets of all religions and beliefs world over. He postulated the realm of divine bliss over the dominant thought of materialism in his poem in Sanskrit viz., Bhaja Govindam. An earnest effort has been made in bringing out its sum and substance in modern poetic verse easy to read and appreciate the philosophy generally accepted by all communities at large.
