Bhaj Govindam Verse 13

Bhaj Govindam  It is the grand finale - The last verse written by Shankaracharya in the form of dvadasa-manjarika-stotra of Bhaj Govindam. This verse I would call as ‘A Shaj Upaye - Simple solution’. This is the 13 Verse (the last verse) if we consider the opening verse. However, the first verse is the re-affirming verse. A repeated reminder, after every verse when Guru Shankaracharya says, this won’t help, that won’t help, this is wrong, that is wrong. He tells us only Hari Naam is the way.  However, he knows that even the learned find it difficult to understand/hold on to this abstract concept called God - Saakaar or Niraakar. He provides the bewildered one a simple solution Just have faith in the Lord (don’t try to understand him or his ways, just love him) and Hold onto the feet of a ’Sajjan Purusha.’
