To Usha and all: Argala Stotram

[Guest guest]

Namaste: Oh Mother, I want to know You completely, be one with You,

but I am stressed and full of fear. I search high and low for you.

Tears fill my eyes. I have forgotten that You are always with me. If

you would give me Your form, Your welfare, and remove all hostility,

then I can truly be One with You. This bolt bars the latch on my

heart, it is rusty from disuse. But, for You who have destroyed the

great ego, it is easy for you to remove the bolt, and oil the rusty

hinges, and open the door to my heart.

Then I will see You sitting on the lotus throne in my heart. Where

You have always resided. I will know we are One.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
