Where is the boundary to the sky,
Where is the limit to your dreams?
Why chase the stars that pass you by?
Slow down! flow with the streams.
You seek the mirage of desire,
Wandering lost in desert sands.
Without the Supreme's holy fire,
Nothing unfolds by our own hands.
Be it sorrow, be it cheer,
In every moment, it is He,
The Supreme Lord, who’s always near,
The cause of all we feel and see.
Birth and death, two ends of life,
Neither is within our sway.
Who finds only joy, no strife?
Life’s plant bears both bloom and fray.
So why let greed and sorrow win?
Why dwell on what you cannot keep?
The gifts of God, through thick and thin,
Be calm, be grounded, in His deep.
('Baanigondu Elle Ellide' - A song written by Shri Chi. Udayashankar for the Kannada movie 'Premada Kanike')
