For men of little understanding wife, children,

and others comprise the family.

Know that for the learned there is a family

made up of countless books in their mind

which is an obstacle to yoga.

 

What use is the learning of those who do not

seek to wipe out the letters of destiny by

enquiry "Whence is the birth of us who know

this letters?" They have sunk to the level of a

gramophone. What else are they,

O Arunachala!

For unlearned folk there is only one family

consisting of wife, children and dependents.

But in the mind of those with much learning are

many families of books, theories and opinions

as obstacle to yoga.

 

What is the use of letters to those lettered folk

who do not seek to wipe out the letters of Fate

by inquiring, "Whence are we born?"

What else are they but gramophones,

O Lord of Arunachala?

They learn and repeat words without realizing

their meaning.
