All paths lead to Keshav


"All paths lead to me" says Krishna in Bhagwad Gita. Here is a aphorism that says the same:

आकाशात् पतितं तोयं यथा गच्छति सागरम् ।
सर्वदेवनमस्कारं केशवं प्रतिगच्छति ॥

आकाश से गिरा हुआ पानी जैसे समुद्र में जाता है, उसी प्रकार किसी भी देवता को किया गया नमस्कार keshav को जाता है॥

Just as all the water falling from the sky goes into sea, similarly salutations offered to all Gods goes to "Keshavam."

Presented above is a Sanskrit aphorism, also known as a subhāṣita, which is at the very least, a literary piece of art.
