In English
When old age overtakes you, the body becomes weak, vision fails, the face is full of wrinkles; Urchins surround you and tease you as stuffed monkey And your body itself becomes a burden of misery. Is that when you should offer your body to God? No, not at all. Offer yourself to God in your youth, when all your faculties Are at their peak performance and the body is full of vigor and vitality. [Telugu Poem]
