POEM

 

Grace

 

Baba, my Deva bless me with Thy grace

Through the trials and ordeals I face

May I be merged with patience and faith

And may more love for You in me grow

 

The devil is playing with my mind

Help me Father, to be rid of this maya

Purify my sight, help me to get an insight

And help me adapt to the way you want me to be

 

Help me to not walk astray

Stabilize my emotions and help me be Kind to everyone

For the joy that I receive from you

Gives me willingness to fight the rival in me

 

Your assurances and your Nirakara roopa

Stand by my side

And I find you reciprocating my prayers through Your loving face,

As Thy strong hand lift me from despair

Nevertheless I hope to get there

 

I need you Baba, all the time

You have never ever let me fear

In spite of my bitter moments and challenging times

You were always there

Cleaning me from my sins

Unfortunately Baba I misunderstood you

More of Thy will, I long to seek

Less of self, help me be cherubic and meek

 

Stupid that I am I always mourned

For the materialistic riches and searched for impermanent permanence

And yet I did not realize that I would find You

Day in and day out

in the life that I lead.

 

Baba, help me trod on for the road seems dark

Each step taken will leave a mark

I see you in the help you extend and

Of late learnt that you are in every obstacle

I know not what the future may hold

Days could be warm, or dreary and cold

But Lord, may I always remember thy blessings

For they are the one constant that always come my way
