Meaning you cannot see the seer of sight, hear the hearer of hearing thinker of thought and knower of knowledge. He does not deny the seear, knower etc. It only refutes the view of the Vaiseshikas, that knowledge is the attribute of the self- Knowing and thinking etc are the essential nature of the self. It dismisses the individual self as the knower etc.and shows the Brahman the real self as the knower.

like wise 'AnandO Brahma" does not denote Brahman as purely bliss but also as the Anandee possessor of bliss.

Good and Bad.ts

Both good and bad the patient earth sustains
To cheer them both the sun impartial glows
On both the balmy wind refreshing blows
On both at ones the God Parjanya rains.

Not even here on earth are blest,
unrighteous men who thrive by wrong
And guileful arts who bold and strong
with cruel spite the weak molest.

Though goodness only brings distress
Let none that hallowed path forsake
mark what reverses overtake
The wicked after brief success.

not all at once the earth her fruits
Produces; so unrighteousness
But slowly works yet not the less
At length the sinner quiet uproots

At first though wrong he grows in strength
He sees good days and overthrows.
In strife triumphant, all his foes
But justice strikes him down at length.

Yes retribution comes though slow
for if the man himself go free.
His sons shall then the victims be,
Or else his grand sons feel the blow.

-------------------------------------------

Those noblemen who falsehood dread,
In wealth and glory ever grow
As flames with greater brightness glow
With oil in ceaseless flow when fed.

But like to flames with water drenched
Which faintly flickering die away
So liare day by day decay
till all their lustre soon is quenched.

---------------------------------------------

As far and wide the vernal breeze
sweet odours waft from blooming trees
So top the great savour speeds
to distant land of virtuous deeds

As one expert in daring feats
Athwarta pit a sword who lays
And walking on its edge essays
The chasm to cross but soon retreats

With cries afraid to fall below
And trembling stands upon the brink
So let a man from false hood shrink
And guard himself from future woe.

time of death.ts

For ruthless death will never stay to notice whether thou hast done or not, the work begun, he hastes to bear thy life away as wolves and tigers snatch their prey.

Un utterable wretchedness, does not wait for undeveloped understanding or imperfect feelings, life should be made profoundly interesting, feeding our every minute with spacious visage of eager attention filled with abundance of love for all creation.
pay attention write down even if a little bit every day, do it every day for a while, do it as you would do scales on a piano or say sloka, do it with a pre arrangement with your self, do it as a debt of honour and make a commitment to finish things.
Improvement.
The sage will never allow a day unmarked by good to pass away, but waking up will often ask, Have I this day fulfilled my task? with this with each days setting sun, a  part of my brief course is run.
Self Examination.
with daily scrutinizing ken
let every man his actions try
enquiring what with brutes have I
in common what with noble men?
Action
Let all thy acts by day be right
that thou mayst sweetly rest at night
let such good deeds thy youth engage
that thou mayst spend a tranquil age
so act through life, that not in vain
thou heavenly bliss may'st hope to gain.

All men think all men mortal but themselves.
Is not those men's delusion strange
who, while they see tat every day
so many sweeps from earth away
can long themselves elude all change.

Concept of creation and infinity of time.
The universe as one of many that stretch in cycles of creation and destruction into the endless past and that will stretch in similar cycles into the endless future.

We often believe that we are what we do in life and that our joy comes from the results we achieve, to experience the full richness depth and magic of every moment. Whether we are actually achieving anything or not, we must learn how to flow from the pure inner essence of who we are. This allows us to connect with the essence of everything, so we can join the dance being always open to the infinite possibilities existing within its natural rhythm.

The lapse of time.
Again the morn returns again the night, again the sun, the moon ascends the sky, our lives still waste away as seasons fly, but who his final welfare keeps in sight.

again.
Men hail the rising sun with glee, they love his setting glow to see, but fail to mark that every day, in fragments bears their life away.

All natures face delight to view
As changing seasons come anew
none sees how each revolving year
abridges swiftly man's career

No second youth for man.
The empty beds of rivers fill again
Trees leafless now renew their vernal bloom
returning moon their lustrous phase resume
But a man a second youth expects in vain.

Man should not delay to be good
Death comes and makes man his prey
A man whose powers are yet unspent
like one on gathering flowers intent
whose thoughts are turned another way.

Begin bedtimes to practice good
lest fate surprises the unawares
Amid thy round of schemes and cares
Tomorrows task today conclude.

And none can tell how things may change
And who may all this day survive
While yet a stripling therefore strive
On virtues arduous path advance.

Sarve sishtalokah. all good people by Sri Ramanuja.

If Ramanuja charya was confronted with the world religions he would have embraced the whole of mankind, as per what he says SARVE SISHTALOKAH.

secret sin not unobserved.

"None sees me:" so when bent on sin
The fool imagines madly bold;
For Gods his evil deeds behold
The Soul too sees the man within.

The Only Inseparable friend.

Their virtue is the only friend
That never men deserts in death,
As flits away their vital breath
all other ties and friendships end.

Nor father mother wife nor son,
beside us then can longer stay
Nor Kinsfolk, Virtue is the one
compassion of our dark some ways.

Alone each creatures sees the light
Alone this world at length he leaves
Alone the recompense receives
of all his actions wrong or right.

His log like clod like body placed
within the sad funereal ground,
His kinsmen one by one turn around
forsake the spot and homeward haste

His virtue never quits his side
A faithful guardian comrade guide.

Be then a store of virtue gained
To help when comes our day of doom
we cross the dread and trackless gloom
by virtues friendly arms sustained.

A GOOD WIFE.

Although with children bright in teens.
And full of light and gladness seems,
A man's abode, without a wife
Is empty lacks its real life.
The housewife makes the house bereft
Of her, a dreary waste tis left.

That man is truly blest whose wife,
with ever sympathetic heart,
shares all his weal and woe takes part
In all the events that stir his life
Is filled with joy when he is glad
And plunged in grief when he is sad

Laments whenever his home he leaves
His safe return with joy perceives
With gentle words his anger stills
And all her tasks with love fulfills.









Effects:
A man is only half a man, his life is not a whole,
until he finds a wife;
His house is like a graveyard sad and still till gleeful children all its chambers fill.
