here is no chance ever of the moon-light adding a single calorie of heat to the earth. The company of the wise is the surest remedy to cool down our bosom to complete peace and happiness when it is in conflagration with its desires and hatreds, attachments and yearnings.
In stanza 34, we have been told that the disciple should, having approached a true master, make him pleased with his service and prostrations. Sankara has, so far, spent four stanzas in praise of the masters to express the attitude of total surrender of the disciple to the teacher. In the following stanza, we hear a definite and pointed request to the master to answer the doubts so that with his inspired discourses and explanations the seeker may be lifted out of the ruts of his own wrong thinking. It is an elaborate metaphor, so beautifully executed that its finish and grace remind us of some of the classical works in Sanskrit.
