Bhaja Govindam - 74 Verse 13 Contd…. काते कान्ता धन गतचिन्ता वातुल किं तव नास्ति नियन्ता | त्रिजगति सज्जनसं गतिरैका भवति भवार्णवतरणे नौका ||१३|| kāte kāntā dhana gatacintā vātula kiṁ tava nāsti niyantā, trijagati sajjanasaṁ gatiraikā bhavati bhavārṇavataraṇe naukā. – 13 Life has a different dimension beyond what you perceive it to be. If you do not take that dimension into account, you have not taken life into account at all. There is something that is beyond, that sustains this perceptible creation. Therefore, , Śrī Śaṅkarācārya says here, Vātula kiṁ tava nāsti niyantā? Isn’t there a substratum which sustains this entire creation as you understand it? Have you ever taken that into account when you make calculations in your life, that you are going to do this, you are going to achieve that etc.? In all of these calculations, schemes, and planning, have you ever taken into account the fact that there is something that sustains all this? Śrī Śaṅkarācārya is pointing out how you permit yourself to be completely preoccupied with just the concerns, worries, anxieties, and thoughts about this gross perceptible creation, which is called kāntā and dhana, without looking beyond it.
