| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord! Thou Master of all! For the attainment of liberation, is it not enough for men like me to serve Thee even once by prostration, by praise, by listening to divine stories, by worship, by contemplation, or by visualisation? By what else but these can liberation be achieved? If, however, it is attainable by any of these, what is there to be gained by the arduous worship of ephemeral deities? |
