Wise see Nature as fig tree huge

Roots its planted in high skies

Branching doith Vedic leaves

Helps which ans

With its doard roots it ties

Beings all to ed by wants

Supplies he the feed it needs

Roots on those that entwine him

Helps dispassion sunder theets freed

To reach the Vedic branch in reach,

Grasps as he the truth there all

Goes he up from branch to branch

To end up on the root utmost

On which Abode Supreme lies

Freed of pride, desire ’n delusion

Climbs as he, in self he dwells,

Feels he same of pleasure ’n pain

Detached he reaches thus Supreme
