May all be blessed with your bhakti

dear Lord
it was nice to remember you all day on Guru Purnima. Yesterday (Wednesday), i was out, but you were in my mind constantly.
I visited the Ramana Kendra in the evening (on Guru Purnima) and prayed to You, that I may in all lives and deaths and other states, at all times, in all places, be in ever-increasing bhakti of your Holy Feet.
I know you will never deny me this wish because of how much you love all creatures. You direct our lives, beloved.
It is the greatest honor to be your devotee, O Gracious Lord, my most beloved and merciful Lord.
May all creatures be filled with your bhakti. May I never bring pain or shame to You, Lord. May no one sully Your Holy name, Beloved.
I read of so many miracles with the Nayanars and other bhaktas of Vishnu, but i desire no miracles, for your bhakti is the greatest. I ask you for no less and no more than your unceasing bhakti.
All i know and feel is Your intense and constant love.

Your name is joy itself
every cell of this body is wedded to You my Lord, it is yours.
every cell is devoted to you amd loves You.
Once i was torn by pain remembering You, today i am soaring with joy with you.
Glory to you, sinless one, faultless one.
Why is there a desire in me to leave all, and be possessionless, living on the road, begging for food, and sleeping by trees. Nothing to bind me. Society is too much a burden.
To have just You and nothing else. To survive on just Your name. Taking your name is joy itself.

yet you love me, Lord, and i, You
Your eyes and smile will haunt me to the end of my days.
Today i was reading of some lives of the Nayanars. who reached your abode to serve you. May i one day be deserving enough to reach your abode, to serve Thee, to serve those who serve Thee.
Lord, make me deserving of Thee.
I lack charity and generosity, and for that matter, all other qualities. I know not of even one quality that makes me worthy of You.
And yet you love me, Lord, and i, You.
