Invocations and a Devotional Bhajan by Śrī Maṅgīlāl
Devotion and loyalty to the Guru remove all worries.
Loyalty and devotion to the Guru cause all worries to vanish. The Guru’s mercy lifts one from sorrow and negative moods. The austerity of the heart is difficult. Help is sought to be filled with bliss through devotion and noble qualities. Protection is needed from the blind mind and ignorance. Life is placed in the Guru’s hands. The holy name guides one to the Guru. The heart’s tapas does not go well without assistance. Bliss comes through devotion. Noble qualities are infused by grace. The blind mind is guarded against. Ignorance is dispelled. Surrender brings guidance. Devotion is the path. The name of the Guru is the refuge.
“When there is loyalty and devotion to you, O Gurudev, all worries vanish.”
“Your holy name may guide me to you.”
