## Balaadristi: Kalash Kavya
**(233)** By nature, in this vision, there is no craving, no falsehood, no where. It resides in the state of happiness, everywhere, therefore, it plays in the comfort of the soul with happiness. 48. Wherever you go or whatever you do, be quick, without any obstacles, with a steady mind; holding the vow, always being self-contented, do not let any flaw enter this vision. 49. Happy, beautiful, youthful, like the sound of Gandharva singing; here, the thirst for the truth is like that, like a thirsty person desires water. 50. Who am I? From where did I come? In what true form, oh! have I remained? What are all these relationships that bind me? The great thirst for the truth. 51. Here, compare it to the vein of water, this praise of the true thirst for the truth; without the thirst for the truth, all that is heard is in vain, like digging a well in barren land. 52. Even though the knowledge is heard, the true thirst for the truth, if it is weak in the mind due to the feeling of attachment, it will diminish, but the purpose of the knowledge will be achieved. 53. The beginning of the attachment, the steady mind, sometimes the attachment, sometimes the detachment; the best remedy for the poison, the skill is shown here. Sometimes, do not hold on to the means, do not make the means your bondage; always run away from sin, like a river flows towards the ocean.
**Traatak:** The firm vision, the steady posture, resides; the thirst for the ultimate truth, it yearns; without interruption, the auspicious light shines, the joy of the mind, the progress, it rejoices.
**This is the third Balaadristi, from the Sri Yogadristi Samuccaya Shakha, explained in detail with the commentary called "Sumanaanandani Brihattika", written by Bhagavanadas, the son of Kiratchandra, the disciple of the great sage Haribhadracharya.**
