Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ २४८ ॥

In plain words

O mind, drop your restlessness. Place these two choices side by side before you: on one side, all the endless objects of the senses; on the other, the Lord of grace. Ponder carefully through reason and direct experience which of the two holds true peace and your ultimate good. Pursue wholeheartedly whatever leads to supreme joy.

O mind, abandoning fickleness, placing the two extremes before you, there place all sense objects on one side and the Lord of Śrī on the other. Where is true rest and what is beneficial, oh, let that be considered between these two through reason or experience: where supreme bliss is, that should be served.
