Shlok Meaning

English Translation

Childhood is lost in attachment to games. The youth is lost in attachment to women. Old age passes with worry and anxiety, thinking over many things. But there is hardly anyone who wants to be lost (attached) in para-brahman, the Supreme Spirit.

Sri Shankaracharya
