## Forty-Seventh Chapter
511. If you grieve for your Guru's **deha-chyuti** (departure from the body), then why do the **Ghanatha** (divine beings) who served him even before his birth, and who have **vivridha-raga** (increased attachment), celebrate with joyous dance after his **bhasmasat-kriti** (cremation)?
**Shardaul-vikridita** (a poetic meter)
I do not see the **Vishva-drish** (all-seeing), I do not hear the divine words, I cannot even touch his feet with humility and adorn my crown with the brilliance of his nails. Therefore, I am overwhelmed with grief due to my attachment. But this is a delusion, for it is futile to grieve for the past.
**Vasant-tilaka** (a poetic meter)
O Bharata, you are the **tri-bhuvana-eka-guru-guru** (the supreme Guru of the three worlds), and you are the holder of the three **jnana** (knowledge). Why are you destroying your **udatta-ta** (excellence) with this **moha-vihit** (delusion-induced) attachment? Are you not ashamed to do so, even in front of Indra? Do you not know that you will attain **mukti-gati** (liberation) even before Indra?
**Shardaul-vikridita** (a poetic meter)
What is desirable, what is undesirable? This foolish creature makes futile resolutions, hates some, desires others, and sometimes even reverses these feelings. Therefore, his **papa-anugati** (chain of sins) continues, and he wanders like a poor man, full of fear and sorrow.
**Ho, he is gone, and now he is being served by eight great qualities. What is the loss in this? Therefore, abandon delusion and embrace pure **buddhi** (intellect) to conquer sorrow.**
