IMPLORINGNESSS (Feb 1975)

 

O!Sai!Shirdi Bhagwan!Yogiraj!Janardhan!Supreme God!

Thou art the Lord of Universe, Argus,Artisan

Knowledge,Truth,Mercy,Love,Joy incarnated in Thee

Inscrutable,immeasurable, immutable art Thy ways

Nature prostrates before Thy presence

Maya, the blinding veil bows down in muteness

No distinction, difference Thy Mercy knoweth

The poor, the rich, the high and the low are equal

Love ye another even as I love you all

Thy message is the essence of all religions

Thou art the beacon light to humanity and world

O!Ocean of mercy, turn me as Thy servant and disciple

Wash my sin and adorn me with pearls of virtue

O!Gurudeva!Brahman, Sri Sainath Maharaj!

 

Where art Thou? What is Thy form?

Where is Thy nectar of love that brings solace to me

My mind,body and soul are Thou,pity me, pardon me

Art Thou partial? Or deaf to my wails of helplessness

Thou art the ‘Avatar’ and incarnation of Dattatreya

Why uncareful towards me? Baba! Tell me

Mere utterance of Thy name inspires me and my thoughts

Thou art my Bhava,thought and all,surrendered to Thee completely

Despair,disappointment overpower me Baba

Stand by me as my protector,preserver and promoter

Render my life purposeful, conquer devil of defeat

Tie me to Thy lotus feet with bounds of unerring faith in Thee

Shatter forces of evils,distress,disdain

Let Thy form be my rescuer, saviour and guide

Take me as Thy dear Bhakta and ‘Sishya’ and child

I cannot trust human beings and life has become drudgery

Cheat,untruth,wickedness, pomp,vanity rule high

Truth, simplicity,softness, merit,virtue, vanquish

 

 

O!Maharaj? Where art Thou? Let me see

Defeated I am in the battle of life

Always push me down the valet the devils of despair in darkness

Why art Thou not impartial? Or art Thou selfish?

Why success to few?Why fortune to the privileged?

Why Thy mercy is not dawned on me for ever

The Soil of Shirdi, a heaven on earth! Purifies all

O!Sai guide me with the light of kindness,mercy

Purify me, provide peace, happiness overwhelmingly to me

Only to serve Thy feet with unflinching devotion and faith.
