O Guru,
Most potent of all Devas
Just one look at Your face
was enough to free me of desires and pain
Just one peep at Your Holy Face
and i lost my bearings
and was moored to Thee

Beloved Lord,
I exagerrate not
But You are bliss.
You are joy itself.
You are the soul in ecstacy.

Free me not, Lord
Chained me to Thee.
Your memory is the sweetest
May this bhakta be in it always
Forgetting You is like poison, I promise You
Each moment when my mind wanders
when You let my mind wander
is bitter
O Guru,
I hold you responsible for all lapses
I have handed all to You, let me be Thine
always

Beloved,
Am in not worthy of your slavery ?

the only purpose of life, is to be one with the Lord, all else is rubbish, to free oneself of desires and maya, and surrender at Your Feet is the only meaning of life.

Your Feet are our true abode.

O Lord, at moments like this, all i can feel is the need to leave the body and stop existing.

Beloved, let my breath stop, but not your memory.
