THE LITTLENESS OF THE WORLD Why should the truly wise man wish   To hold the world in fee? 'Tis but the leaping of a baby fish   Upon the boundless sea.

Tawney

Can all this earth encloses Flutter the sage's breast? Say, can the darting minnow Trouble the ocean's rest?

Mādhavānanda

  ब्रह्माण्डं मण्डलीमात्रं किं लोभाय मनस्विन: ।   शफरीस्फुरितेनाब्धि: क्षुब्धो न खलु जायते ।।९२।। 92. Can this universe, which is but a mere reflection, engender greed in wise men? The ocean surely does not become agitated by the movement of a little fish. [Just as a fish cannot set up a swaying of the ocean, so this universe, a mere image in pure Consciousness, cannot move the wise men who identify themselves with it, to any idea of covetousness. मण्डली may simply mean ‘an orb’, which being a limited thing is of little importance to the wise man.]
