            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.]
