Saints are singers,
The singers of the Divine,
Telling of sanyasa, leaving of homes,
Becoming of saints,
Cutting the bonds of maya-moha,
Taking to renunciation
That is vairagya.
But Swamiji is first of all an Advaita Vedantist
Believing in Advaita Vedanta,
A griha-tyagi, home-leaver
He is but a sanyasin,
A saint, a renouncer,
A vairagi
And above all a philosopher saint
Of India
Learned and poetical.
