Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
O Lord of creatures! Art Thou not the Almighty as also the greatest friend of the miserable, of whom I am the chief? Is there not, then a close kinship between us two? Therefore, O Thou bestower of good, Thou shouldst forgive me all my transgressions and work for mysalvation even if it be fraught with difficulty. For this is the test of close relationship everywhere.
