Dearer than life itself is Thy Love

Lord,

For thousands of lives, i have worked, earned, supported, done all the things society expects of its members, even fought in wars, killed, and been killed.

This being my last life, Lord, i request Thee to let me now live it in Your memory, with no other responsibilities to constrain me. O Beloved Father and Guru Ramana, let this life be lived in Your memory only.

There are others to be of use to society. I have no use of fame, or wealth for Your love is the greatest wealth.

Beloved, will i ever know if i was alive in Your life? Did i serve you, was i your devotee in my last life ? Will this ever be revealed to me?

You are Lord Shiva, and Parabrahma Krishna.

I must have stared and gaped at You in my last life.
