Our Adi Guru Lord Dattatreya
Adi Guru Dattatreya said:
1
"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
"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."
More will be added soon.....
