| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| In this world, many are the minor deities who bestow paltry rewards. I ddo not, even in dream, attach any importance either to them or to their worship or to the results accruing from it. O Lord, O Thou bestower of happiness and the embodiment of all goodness! For long have I been praying for Thy lotus feet, which are difficult of attainment even for divinities like Vishnu and Brahma who live in close proximity to Thee. |
