स्मरणीया हि सर्वत्र सेविका त्वत्पदानुगा । कदापि मानसं नाथ त्वत्तो नान्यत्र गच्छति

உமது பாதங்களைப் பின்பற்றும் சேவிகை எங்கும் நினைவுகூரத்தக்கவள். நாதா, அவளது மனம் ஒருபோதும் உம்மை விட்டு வேறெங்கும் செல்லாது.
Unspecified devotee/speaker addressing a Lord (nātha) (context not provided in input)
Concept: The ideal sevakā is remembered everywhere because her mind never strays from the Lord—exclusive devotion (ananya-cittatā).
Application: Build micro-habits of remembrance: brief japa between tasks, mentally offering work to Hari, and returning attention to the Lord whenever the mind wanders.
