________________
hence forward
what happens is not known! In what form
that happening will emerge
and how long will it stay in that form?
What will be its result?
All this is in the lap of future
but,
it constantly gleams in the divine intelligence of the knowers of past, present and future.
The understanding of the soil becoming dimmed merges in speechlessness!
The mind of the craftsman becoming languid
pays obeisance to speechlessness, is completely incapable of ordering the feet;
and, without getting instructions from the mind
what should the mouth speak?
At this the tongue speaks out: "Follower of improper instructions the tongue is the path
to the bottom of the earth,
that is,
the jiva who conquers the tongue
his miseries cease and life passes happily,
long-living he becomes,
