In this thought provoking verse from Bhaja Govindam, Adi Shankaracharya brazenly points out how our body is of value to our loved ones, only when we are alive. Yet we spend so much of our time vainly on the body, neglecting the Infinite in the pursuit of the fleeting finite. Swami Swaroopananda urges us to build that permanent relation with “Govinda”, who is with us all times, in this body and beyond this body.
