And he composed devotional pieces like the 'Six- feet sonnet'.
In the opening verse, as a commoner, he pleads that demonic tendencies be driven away- awinayam apanaya; and for retractions of senses and mind - damaya mana ha.
Thus, in the first two phrases, Sancara lists all that a devotee needs to earn - for his liberation.
Because, if one evolves into divine destiny and can wean one's attention away from five senses and mind - one becomes established in oneself.
But then, he continues, about reaching out to all life - Bhuta dayam Wistaraya.
Which is what he did, for the world. He tirelessly strived to awaken people.
He could have sat still, absorbed in beatitude of self, for rest of his life.
But he chose to write, travel, debate, consecrate, energise idols and yantras.
That is why we call him Sam cara - one who did good.
- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
