Bhaja Govindam (Moha Mudgara), verse on the play of Time · Adi Shankaracharya · 8th century CE (circa 788-820)
This verse belongs to Adi Shankaracharya's Bhaja Govindam, the hymn composed in Varanasi to awaken the worldly soul. Amid its teachings on impermanence, this shloka paints Time as a player who sports through the cycles of day, night, and the seasons, all the while carrying our life away. Shankaracharya's insight is that despite this constant reminder of mortality, the 'wind of desire' continues to drive the human heart — and only by releasing that craving can one find rest.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
Sages cite this verse to explain why the years feel ever swifter and yet desire never tires: it is the nature of Time to play on and of craving to persist. Those who deeply absorb it are said to gain a serene detachment, watching the seasons turn without being swept away by them.
