Why are you engrossed in evil-mindedness and skepticism? Think of the Lord, or else you shall be led to the City of [/FONT][FONT=Tahona]Death[/FONT][FONT=Tahona]. Why are you wandering around, out of control? || 1 || Pause || ang93[/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Tahona][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]The Vedas proclaim that Maya is of three qualities.

What actions will bring emancipation, and total perfection? || 2 || One may distinguish between good and evil actions, and listen to the Vedas and the Puraanas, but doubt still persists. Skepticism continually dwells in the heart, so who can eradicate egotistical pride? || 3 || Outwardly, he washes with water, but deep within, his heart is tarnished by all sorts of vices. So how can he become pure? His method of purification is like that of an elephant, covering himself with dust right after his bath! || 4 || With the rising of the sun, the night is brought to its end; the whole world knows this.
