I Adore you Sai

[Guest guest]

I Adore you Sai

 

Sai I adore you from the core of my heart.

Sitting in the Dwarkamayee,

You cast a benevolent smile

On me your devotee,

Knowing full well

Not only of my skin deep devotion

But even of all my previous births.

Sai! I adore you from the core of my heart.....

I wash my body every day

But never do I wipe off the dirt of my heart.

Covered my body with a dirty sheet

I come to you to seek your Grace.

Sai! I adore you from the core of my heart.

The dirt of my body I wash with water

That of my heart with 'Sai kripa'

Taking me as your ignorant child

You rush to my help whenever needed.

Sai! I adore you from the core of my heart.

I implore you to give me a luscious charming body

And immeasurable wealth with all luxuries of life

But never do I ask from you

A chunk from that great treasury

You hold and wish to share with me.

Sai! I adore you from the core of my heart.

 

No Desire for Mukti

 

Sai!

Ever since you have held my hand in your own

Miseries of life seem to have forsaken me.

And my life has acquired a new meaning,

Hitherto unknown to me.

You have become the be all and end all of my life.

Sai, you are the destination of my life

You are the beginning, as also the end of my life

I am your child.

Oh! what a bliss, you have bestowed on me!

I often find it difficult to live in this world

And yet I do not want to leave it

The desire to experience more and more of your Grace

Still lurks in me.

I know full well

Onto the path of bhakti

Desirelessness is a pre-requisite

But tell me

What shall I gain by attaining Mukti

Where You shall not be there

Where my soul would have merged in the Supreme.

Where I shall cease to exist as I,

And cease to experience Your Grace as before.
