O Guru,

Your Word says

God is Bhagat-vachhal - the Lover of devotees.

I certainly expect love from Him-

but in what way am I, the sinner, a devotee?

Please make me ready to give up everything-

for the pleasure of becoming Your devotee.

I wish to be a mad-lover of You-

intoxicated with Your priceless Spirit, the holy Name.

Show me the way

and walk me along, O Master.

For what reason do you rage, O mind?

Why, have you no fear of God?

Have you forgotten the teachings of the Master?

Where are you heading?

Pray forgive me Lord,

I have been sinning even before I was born.

O kind and forgiving Guru,

When will my sins vanish?

The mountain of separation

is higher than everest.

Don't even think of climbing it

without the advice of one who's returned.

This is the mountain

where every step is a great height,

where every move is against the wind.

But when you reach the peak,

you can touch the universe

and become it.

If anyone wishes to see a loser lover,

look at me.

I don't have love enough

to please my Beloved.

So where is my fault

if I don't have the capacity?

You made me like this-

but I have tried hard.

So what else can I do?

Stop making me walk in circles, Lord!

Show me the Way;

Please hold my hand

and walk me to You.
