396 GENERAL SURVEY AND CONCLUSIONS
cursing : therefore, choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live" (Deuteronomy, xxx. 19). In other words, " Life is God, and I am He," is the watch-word in Religion, *and you shall certainly not go astray if you endeavour, in every possible way, to make your abode in your Life, which is your true work, ___And, now, before we part, let us join in praying to Life for its Divine Gifts of Love and Mercy and Vairagya, and in wishing Peace and Happiness to all living beings, including every manifestation of Life divine, howsoever lowly placed in the order of being today.
जिसने राग द्वेष कामादिक जीते सब जग जान लिया, सब जीवों को मोक्ष मार्ग का निस्पृह हो उपदेश दिया। बुद्ध, वीर, जिन, हरि, हर, ब्रह्मा, या उसको स्वाधीन कहो। भक्ति भाव से प्रेरित हो यह चित्त उसी में लीन रहो ॥१॥
He who has subdued his passions and desires ; Who has realised the secret of the Universe in its entirety,
Who is variously termed Buddha, [Maha-] Vira, Jina, Hari, Hara, Brahma and Self ;
In Him, imbued with deep devotion, may this mind [of mine] eternally dwell !
विषयों की प्राशा नहिं जिनके साम्य-भाव धन रखते हैं, निज-पर के हित-साधन में जो निश दिन तत्पर रहते हैं । स्वार्थ त्याग की कठिन तपस्या बिना खेद जो करते हैं, ऐसे ज्ञानी साधु जगत के दुख समूह को हरते हैं ॥२॥
