Translation
Hey wise men! Enjoyments are as momentary as the lightning that flashes across the canopy of clouds. Life is as fragile as the ‘water drop clinging to the lotus leaf’ getting blown by the wind. The endless desires of the youth are unstable. Analyzing well like this, without delay, direct your intellect towards the practice of ‘Yoga’ (union of the individual Self with the Supreme Self), which can be attained with ease through courage and the stability of mind. ॥ 35 ॥
