"Women’s beauty and charm

And their bodily form,

These if you cherish

You are sure to perish;

Attracted by beauty and charm, moths fly

Into the flame only to die."

2

“If a man longs for a woman’s bodily touch

He is sure to fall into maya’s clutch.

How a wild elephant is put into bonds is a known fact

As he follows the she-elephant for bodily contact."

3

"Once in a jungle, an osprey

Brought a flesh of its prey,

For the flesh, he was attacked by many an osprey,

They left him when he abandoned the flesh of the prey.

By possession, he got worry

By abandonment he made merry."

So Adi Guru Dattatreya did brief

King Yadu how to be free of grief.

4

“Fish being attracted by bait

Fail to see what is in wait,

Similarly men attracted by hope

Fail to see the maya’s rope."

5

“Like apiarist collects honey

That has been hoarded by bees,

Others enjoy miser’s money.

This truth the wise one sees,

Thus from greed he, himself, frees.”

6

“Hope gave her worry,

Despair made her merry.

Prostitute Pingala was quite right

For becoming God’s devotee overnight.”

Thus Adi Guru Dattatreya did cite

King Yadu how to get rid of plight.

7

"Like bee collects nectar from various flowers

That smell ill or well or that are big or small,

The wise one collects gist from various books

That are good or bad or either big or small."

 Salutations to the lotus feet of Guru Siddha Nath
