In the service of Gurudev
A heart's plea for grace to make life meaningful and for transformation into a selfless lover.
The mind does not know what to do, creating nothing of its own. Life is spent in worldly attachments, day and night seeking personal gain, enduring sorrow for pleasure. The plea is for such compassion that life is not known as useless. The mind has tried many things but has built nothing of its own. The call is to become a selfless lover, a brother to the world, with the heart filled with all beings. The aspiration is to be made into a knower of bliss.
"He na te ab to aisī dayā ho, jīvan nirarthak jāne na pāyī."
"Apne ku niṣkām premi banāu, ko chāu pāu sansār kā bhāī."
