This is a prayer from Girish Ganapat to Bhagavan:

[Guest guest]

In search of truth I wandered;

But found nothing but confusion,

With hopeful eyes, I arrived here,

Expecting light, to avoid illusion.

 

Came I and sat at your feet,

Peace and calmness captured self.

In an unseen way, O Lord,

You helped me in your wondrous silence.

 

Light of hope cheered me,

I saw my dream succeed,

Oh, see with the sword of stillness

Are cut the veils of darkness.

 

Yet, O Lord, my sinful soul

Is not free from old habits.

Hence the help from you, Guru.

Begging I am with eager eyes.

 

So will you not help me, O Lord?

Will my childish prayer reach

Thy ear, O merciful Ramana?

And will my veils mysterious drop

By your single ray serene?
