Stood in front of my beloved Deity
\nWith a heavy heart I stood
\nNot able to control my thoughts
\nNot able to control my emotions….<\/p>\n
Victory that I saw near
\nHas gone too far from my vision
\nVictory that I thought too easy
\nIs it out of my reach?<\/p>\n
Doubts keep on creeping in my mind
\nPast thoughts keep on beating my conscience
\nUnable to bear the pain it causes
\nStood before my beloved Diety helplessly…..<\/p>\n
Oh God! Didn’t ask You precious things
\nDidn’t yearn for name or fame
\nDidn’t come to You for worldly things
\nCan’t You bless me with peace of mind….<\/p>\n
Thoughts I hate to carry with me
\nThoughts keep coming back with evil smile
\nTrouble me like an uninvited guest
\nOh God! Why do You punish me like this?<\/p>\n
You control everything! You rule the Universe!
\nYou fill the entire world! You are the Sakti everywhere!
\nYou are always in that Eternal Peace
\nCan’t You bless me with some peace of mind?<\/p>\n
Oh Guru! Bless me with Bhakti
\nOh Guru! Bless me with calmness
\nOh Guru! Bless me with Stillness
\nOh Guru! Bless me with Oneness…<\/p>\n
Amma, Embrace me with Love
\nAmma, Embrace me with Eternal Peace
\nAmma, am at Your feet always
\nAmma, am Your daughter always….<\/p>\n
