Thy Guru`s Feet
 Thy body may be beautiful and glow with flawless health,
Thy fame colossal and thou mayest have won to fabulous wealth,
But if to the Guru`s feet thy heart untethered still remain.
Then all thou hast achieved on earth is vain, is vain, is vain.
Thou mayest be deep-versed in all that scripture have to tell
A beacon of light, a master of prose and verse delectable,
But if to the Guru`s feet thy heart untethered still remain.
Then all thou hast achieved on earth is vain, is vain, is vain.
- Shankaracharya
8th Century AD
