WISDOM=BLISS

The Sankara Hypothesis 


Fame may be posthumous,
But Fame can only accrue,
From Wisdom Divine,
Vidya Yasassukhakaree.


There is no disease greater than Avarice,
No enemy greater than  Anger,
No Sorrow greater than Poverty,
No Bliss greater than Wisdom.

Nasthi Lobha Samo vyadhi
Nasthi Krodha  samo ripuh
Nasthi Daridra   vyayat     DUkham
Nnasth Jnanath para sukham.

Beauty, Aristocracy and  Good Behavior,
Are indeed Blessings great!
But they shine not,
Without Wisdom's Grace!

Sundaropi Suseelopi
Kuleenopi Maha Dhana
Shobhate na Vina Vidyam
Vidya Sarvasya Bhooshanam !



Self Actualisation never from Wealth,
Or from empires temporal and evanescent,
Self Actualisation cometh only from Wisdom,
Vidyaya Vindate Amritam



Knowledge is of the Relative,
Wisdom is of the Absolute,
Wisdom alone can immortalise,
Amritam tu Vidya.


Thou Art Wisdom,
Thine is the Form,
Form of Vedas Infinite,
And aim of  wisdom  Thou art!

Veiled wealth is Wisdom,
Eternal Fame is Wisdom,
Guru of Gurus is She,
And greatest Deity  Celestial

There is none holier,
Than Wisdom Sacred,
So averrs the Gita,
Initiation Science Manual !

 
Wisdom is enveloped by Ignorance,
Ajnane navritam Jnanam.
It is the Overmind, with its golden lid,
Which hides the Supramental Truth  !
 
Can we call it the Occultation,
Of  Truth Absolute ?
Hiranmayena Patrena,
Satyasyabhihitam Mukham.
 
Transcend that Veill,
And Truth becomes manifest..
The incomprehensible Supreme Light,
The ineffable Absolute.
 
All is Mind, said Sankara.
Maya matram idam Dvaitam.
Absolute Unity = Truth,
Advaitam Paramarthatha.



The Fool is respected in his own home,
The Lord in his own village,
King in one's Kingdom,
But scholar adored everywhere!

Swagrihe poojyate mooda
Swagrame poojyate prabhu
Swadese poojyate Raja
Vidwan Sarvatra Poojyate !
