शिवानंदलहरि - कुसुमार्थं जडमतिः

गभीरे कासारे विशति विजने घोरविपिने
    विशाले शैले च भ्रमति कुसुमार्थं जडमतिः ।
समर्पैकं चेतः सरसिजमुमानाथ भवतो
    सुखेनावस्थातुं जन इह न जानाति किमहो ॥

- शिवानंदलहरि

gabhIre kAsAre vishati vijane ghoravipine
    vishAle shaile cha bhramati kusumArtham jaDamatiH ।
samarpaikam chetaH sarasijamumAnAtha bhavato
    sukhena avasthAtum jana iha na jAnAti kimaho ॥

Stupid people roam through the deep lakes, high mountains or forests deviod of people to get flowers for your worship. Oh Lord of Uma! why can not these people understand that the best offering is to offer their own mind to you which is better than any lotus.
