Thy body may be beautiful and glow with flawless health, <br />Thy fame colossal and thou mayest have won to fabulous wealth, <br />But if to the Guru's feet thy heart untethered still remain. <br /> <br />Then all thou hast achieved on earth is vain, is vain, is vain. <br /> <br />Thou mayest be deep-versed in all that scripture have to tell <br />A beacon of light, a master of prose and verse delectable, <br /> <br />But if to the Guru's feet thy heart untethered still remain. <br />Then all thou hast achieved on earth is vain, is vain, is vain.<br /><br />Adi Shankaracharya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thy-guru-s-feet/
