kamala dala jala, jivana tala mala... Life is tottering, like a drop of water on a lotus leaf, sings Govinda Dasa in Bhaja hu re mana.
Looking at the same picture, the materialist sees dollar signs, nano coatings, The Lotus Effect. Wonder cure to improve life in the material world. "You'll never have to clean again!" Non-stick windshields, clothing, furniture, cooking utensils.
The sage observes little drops of water, dancing precariously on a lotus leaf. Life's like that.
...bhajahu hari-pada niti re. Therefore let me always serve
the lotus feet of Lord Hari.
