अथाहमप्यात्मरिपोस्तवान्तिकं दैवेन नीतः प्रसभं त्याजितश्रीः । इदं कृतान्तान्तिकवर्ति जीवितं ययाध्रुवं स्तब्धमतिर्न बुध्यते ।। ८-२२-११ ।।

sanskrit

Only by providence have I been forcibly brought under Your lotus feet and deprived of all my opulence. Because of the illusion created by temporary opulence, people in general, who live under material conditions, facing accidental death at every moment, do not understand that this life is temporary. Only by providence have I been saved from that condition. ।। 8-22-11 ।।
