Bhagavad Gita Rubaiyat, Part XXX

15:1
The great Ashvatta tree, so say the wise,
Has limbs below and branches in the skies;
Its leaves are made of holy Vedic hymns;
From knowing it, true wisdom may arise.

15:2
Yet, guna-born, by senses fed and held,
This tree by worldly means cannot be felled.
Its roots extend into this world, and thus
To action, good or bad, we are compelled.

15:3-4
Only the sage, by non-attachment pure,
Can fell this tree whose roots will else endure,
And, finding refuge in its Source beyond,
May thus his true security ensure.
