Wake up the note! the song that had its birth
Far off, where worldly taint could never reach,
In mountain caves and glades of forest deep,
Whose calm no sigh for lust or wealth or fame
Could ever dare to break; where rolled the stream
Of knowledge, truth, and bliss that follows both.
Sing high that note, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Strike off thy fetters! Bonds that bind thee down,
Of shining gold, or darker, baser ore ;
Love, hate—good, bad—and all the dual throng,
Know, slave is slave, caressed or whipped, not free ;
For fetters, though of gold, are not less strong to bind ;
Then off with them, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Let darkness go; the will-o'-the-wisp that leads
With blinking light to pile more gloom on gloom.
This thirst for life, for ever quench ; it drags
From birth to death, and death to birth, the soul.
He conquers all who conquers self. Know this
And never yield, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
"Who sows must reap," they say, "and cause must bring
The sure effect ; good, good ; bad, bad ; and none
Escape the law. But whoso wears a form
Must wear the chain." Too true ; but far beyond
Both name and form is Âtman, ever free.
Know thou art That, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
They know not truth who dream such vacant dreams
As father, mother, children, wife, and friend.
The sexless Self! whose father He? whose child?
Whose friend, whose foe is He who is but One?
The Self is all in all, none else exists ;
And thou art That, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
There is but One—The Free—The Knower—Self!
Without a name, without a form or stain.
In Him is Mâyâ dreaming all this dream.
The witness, He appears as nature, soul.
Know thou art That, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Where seekest thou? That freedom, friend, this world
Nor that can give. In books and temples vain
Thy search. Thine only is the hand that holds
The rope that drags thee on. Then cease lament,
Let go thy hold, Sannyâsin bold! Say —
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Say, "Peace to all: From me no danger be
To aught that lives. In those that dwell on high,
In those that lowly creep, I am the Self in all!
All life both here and there, do I renounce,
All heavens and earths and hells, all hopes and fears."
Thus cut thy bonds, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Heed then no more how body lives or goes,
Its task is done. Let Karma float it down ;
Let one put garlands on, another kick
This frame ; say naught. No praise or blame can be
Where praiser praised, and blamer blamed are one.
Thus be thou calm, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Truth never comes where lust and fame and greed
Of gain reside. No man who thinks of woman
As his wife can ever perfect be ;
Nor he who owns the least of things, nor he
Whom anger chains, can ever pass thro' Maya's gates.
So, give these up, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Have thou no home. What home can hold thee, friend?
The sky thy roof, the grass thy bed; and food
What chance may bring, well cooked or ill, judge not.
No food or drink can taint that noble Self
Which knows Itself. Like rolling river free
Thou ever be, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Few only know the truth. The rest will hate
And laugh at thee, great one ; but pay no heed.
Go thou, the free, from place to place, and help
Them out of darkness, Maya's veil. Without
The fear of pain or search for pleasure, go
Beyond them both, Sannyâsin bold! Say—
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"
Thus, day by day, till Karma's powers spent
Release the soul for ever. No more is birth,
Nor I, nor thou, nor God, nor man. The "I"
Has All become, the All is "I" and Bliss.
Know thou art That, Sannyâsin bold! Say —
"Om Tat Sat, Om!"

Good question! Take a look:
This chart illustrates the point quite nicely! For patients who were on average 60 years old ( roughly), the death rate as represented above by the orange line, begins to drop dramatically when blood levels of vitamin are around 28 ng/ml. They continue to drop dramatically to near zero at blood levels of approximately 34 ng/ml.[3]
If you want to avoid getting sick in the first place, you should aim for blood levels of 50 to 80 ng/ml. To do that, you will be best advised to also take significant amounts magnesium, and vitamin K2 supplements as well as probably 5–10,000 i.u.s of vitamin D. (check the sources, in the articles below)There other suggestions that are helpful as well. Check out my more extensive answers for more information:
Here are some of the reasons:
“Flu viruses (including swine flu, or H1N1) can induce a massive inflammatory response capable of killing the victim. In other words, it is not the virus that kills, but the body’s hyper-reaction to the virus—in the form of uncontrolled over-production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Vitamin D down-regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha.42″[1]
In addition to attenuating the “ cytokine storm”, vitamin D also attacks the virus as well:
“Antimicrobial peptides are components of the immune system that protect against bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Secreted by immune cells throughout the body, antimicrobial peptides damage the outer lipid membrane of infectious agents (including influenza viruses), rendering them vulnerable to eradication.
Recent studies confirm that vitamin D dramatically upregulates the expression of these antimicrobial peptides in immune cells.48 We now have a definitive biological mechanism to explain why vitamin D confers such dramatic protection against common winter illnesses.” [1]
According to several sources,( like Life Extension Foundation), optimal vitamin D levels are extremely important for peak health.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
“Compelling research has demonstrated that vitamin D blood levels in the range of 50 to 80 ng/mL are associated with reduced mortality and a lower risk of common diseases.”
Recent recent research shows that vitamin D ( which is misnamed, it is really a hormone more than a vitamin), at suboptimal and outright deficiency levels, are associated with a much greater risk of a myriad of diseases. Unless you are exposed to sunlight on your bare skin, for significant time period daily, you are probably at least at suboptimal vitamin D levels. Two thirds of the US, falls into the deficient or suboptimal category. Optimal levels of this so called vitamin (which can be tested with the 25 (OH) D, blood test), are 50 to 80 ng/ mL. Below 30 ng/mL, is considered deficient ( according to several sources, like Life Extension Foundation).
It is likely that in order to achieve the recommended 50 to 80 ng/ml level, you will also need to a high quality vitamin K supplement, and a well absorbed magnesium supplement. Why? These two are necessary to assimilate the vitamin D properly, and not cause issues like elevated calcium. Vitamin K helps calcium be deposited to your bones and not in your arteries![2] Most older Americans are quite deficient in magnesium, anyway. It has a myriad of positive effects from energy metabolism to lowering inflamation and pain, to relaxation, and immune function.
“Research by GrassrootsHealth, based on data from nearly 3,000 individuals, reveals you need 244% more oral vitamin D if you’re not also taking magnesium and vitamin K2, which also works synergistically with vitamin D and helps prevent complications associated with excessive calcification in your arteries.”[2]
