Why penance and austerities for a person who has the wisdom that his soul is different from his body? Oh son of Dasaratha. Why renunciation (sanyasa) and other institutional orders for one who has absolute faith in you? Why temporal fascination for women to a person who has awareness that sensual pleasures are just illusion of eyes? Oh son of Dasaratha. Why should a person who is free from sensual indulgences bother about his past life or future? Oh Lord you are immaculate. You are unparalleled. You are kingly. You are worshipped by Thyagaraja.
