In English
One may be the master of all forms of knowledge, One may vanquish one’s adversaries in debate, One may fight with valour and courage in the battlefield, One may be an emperor reigning over vast kingdoms, One may offer cows and gold as an act of charity, One may count the countless stars in the sky, One may tell the names of different living creatures on the earth, One may be an expert in eight steps of , One may reach even the moon, But is there anyone who can control the body, mind, and senses, Turn the vision inward, And achieve the supreme state of equanimity of the mind? (Telugu poem) When a child emerges from the womb of their mother, one does not find any garland around the child’s neck.
