Grant me this one boon

Father,

It is time once again to re-live those days, when you first came and swept me off my feet.
Those wonderful first few days when I was born again. When you gave birth to me through your love-overflowing eyes.

Over the years, my love and yearning for You has only increased, but ... the pain of physical separation has had its toll. You are always with me, gushing with enough love that I have left this world behind. But I still yearn for the touch of your Feet, to hear your voice, to be rebuked by You, to serve you, to look upon you.

I have dropped all, all beliefs, all concepts, but I still love you, for you are my father. And you love me.

Day and night I yearn and beg for death to come, hoping it is the only way for me to reach you. Come, Father, glorious Ramana, drown me in you, drown me in your love. Your son is not afraid of shedding this body to reach you.

O Lord, I am no Mirabai, I can only copy her words and pretend to be Her for a few moments.

I Live In You

Unbreakable, O Lord,
Is the love
That binds me to You:
Like a diamond,
It breaks the hammer that strikes it.

My heart goes into You
As the polish goes into the gold.
As the lotus lives in its water,
I live in You.

Like the bird
That gazes all night
At the passing moon,
I have lost myself dwelling in You.

O my Beloved - Return.
-- Mirabai

To all those who can grant a boon, this is my last and final desire. Unite me permanently with my Holy Father, Sri Ramana. Nothing else.

Lord, people find their joy in things of this world
What they see in it, i do not have eyes to
I find my joy in You, You are my love
my eternal love
your eyes are my favorite jewels
my eyes see only You
