Bhaja Govindam
by H. H. Adi Shankaracharaya

Fundamentals of Vedanta indicated in simple verses - Dissection of the Shell of thoughtlessness veiling the glory of man - Wretchedness of the way of life of the spiritual ignorant man and horrors of his values of life pointed out - A crackup style whipping and slashing the erring man with cruel cat's tails is adopted. - Hence few criminally sweet slashes with a kindly cruel whip of horrible impatient coming with hateful love for the welfare of the people still sleeping in Samsara (World) of sorrows when the house of life id ablazed with death. Ultimately goal and path of inquiry into Truth are lucidly indicated.
