    This summary provides the key ideas from the 32 verses of the Bhaja Govindam text in 3 sentences: The text advises foolish people to worship Govinda and abandon foolish thoughts and attachments to wealth, women, and family, as these things will not help when one's life comes to an end. It emphasizes that one who fixes their mind on Brahman and detaches from worldly pleasures through renunciation, yoga, or devotion will find true happiness.
