Gurudeva

(from Saranagati)

 

1

gurudev! krpa-bindu diya, koro'ei dase,

trnapekha ati hina

sakala sahane, bala diya koro',

nija-mane sprha-hina

2

sakale sammana korite sakati

deho' natha! jathajatha

tabe to' gaibo, hari-nama-sukhe

aparadha ha'be hata

3

kabe heno krpa, labhiya e jana,

krtartha hoibe, natha!

sakti-buddhi-hina, ami ati dina,

koro' more atma-satha

4

jogyata-vicare, kichu nahi pai,

tomara karuna - sara

karuna na hoile, kandiya kandiya,

prana na rakhibo ara

 

 

 

1) Gurudeva, give to this servant just one drop of mercy. I am lower

than a blade of grass. Give me all help. Give me strength. Let me be

as you are, without desires or aspirations.

 

2) I offer you all respects, for thus I may have the energy to know

you correctly. Then, by chanting the holy name in great ecstasy, all

my offenses will cease.

 

3) When will such mercy fall to this one who is weak and devoid of

intelligence? Allow me to be with you.

 

4) If you examine me, you will find no qualities. Your mercy is all

that I am made of. If you are not merciful unto me, I can on]y weep,

and I will not be able to maintain my life.
