HRIDAYPRADEEP (Ms. Nileshwari Kothari)
Endeavour, endeavour, endeavour, O man!" To seek sincerely and thereby obtain, That 'self-experience' which unfolds in a heart The wisdom to set sound and all senses apart, As non-living objects, distinct from knowledge, (Like a chariotear from his carriage) That wisdom, which reveals to the eyes of the soul The deeds of earlier births and all. A few among men do have the privilege To possess the right spiritual knowledge, Yet they happen to remain for ever Incapable to act in a righteous manner; And few others, who are capable of action Are deprived of the right knowledge and vision; Rarest of rare are indeed those who Are right in their knowledge and conduct too. 2 He, and he all alone, whose mind Has truly cast all attachments behind, Who has for a guide a verily true guru, (A knower of that which is really true), Whose iron resolve rests on experience Of that which is truly his own essence, Yes, he alone ultimately attains Realization' and freedom from
mundane existence. 3
