अप्पय्य दीक्षितस्य वैराग्य शतक - विषय सुख


निध्यायसि विषयसुखं न ध्यायसि विषममस्य परिपाकम् ।
बंधुं तमेव चिंतय बंधुं मोक्तुं च यः क्षमते ॥


- अप्पय्य दीक्षितस्य वैराग्य शतक


nidhyAyasi viShayasukham na dhyAyasi viShamam asya paripAkam ।
bandhum tameva chintaya bandhum mOktum cha yaH kShamate ॥

- appayya dIkShitasya vairAgya shataka


You are attaching yourself to worldly pleasures, not fully understanding the misery that follows. You should be thinking about God who alone can help you both attain attachment and detachment. He is the only attachment that one must have.

- Appayya Dikshit's Vairagya Shataka
