Bhaja Govindham – Adi Shankara

 

बालस्तावत् क्रीडासक्तः, तरुणस्तावत् तरुणीसक्तः।

वृद्धस्तावच्चिन्तासक्तः, परे ब्रह्मणि कोऽपि न सक्तः ॥

भज गोविन्दं भज गोविन्दं गोविन्दं भज मूढ़मते ।

 

Child is ever intent on play, the young is infatuated with lust; Old people are ever immersed in their worries.

 

But there is no one who wants to be engrossed in remembrance of Lord Govinda, the parabrahman (The Supreme) at any stage.

 

O deluded minded friend, Chant the Divine Name Govinda, Chant the Divine Name Govinda, Chant the Divine Name Govinda.

 

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

We cannot recover the past. We are not sure of the future. It is only the present that is at our disposal. So don't waste it. Chant, chant, chant!

 

Twelve years pass in childhood,………. when he is old, he repents and regrets

 

Much more valuable is the hour, consciously spent, in endeavoring for the highest good.

 

Only one who has spent this human life by Chanting the Name of the Lord can remain fearless of death; all the others will fear facing death!

 

Every moment of our life that is spent without the thought of God is indeed a waste.

 

Every moment of your life should be taken as His gift.  Be rest assured that every incident that happens is by His grace and happens for your well-being.

 

You have to understand the clear distinction between a Sadhu and a lazy person.
