\u201cAmma! Amma!\u201d-so cries the heart.
\nSearched for the true essence of life,
\nStumbled, got up and walked.
\nWalked away from this tempting Maya (illusion)
\nAs harmful as a sharp-edged knife<\/p>\n
Short-lived moment, but what bliss!
\nThis child knows of it
\nThe day when her Mother came and smiled
\n\u2018Kali! Kali! Kali!\u2019 her heart cried in ecstasy.
\nBut did her mind listen to this new-found rhythm? Alas!<\/p>\n
Oh Kali, what about this child?
\nOnce again trapped in the ephemeral world.
\nThis child of yours looks for eternal peace-
\nPeace from her own mind,
\nWhere everything else will cease to be
\nSave for the love of this daughter for her Mother.<\/p>\n
Janani! Kindly wake up to the call of this foolish child,
\nFoolish enough to be lost in worldly pleasures<\/p>\n
Take her by the hand and promise her;
\nPromise her you\u2019ll never leave nor forsake her,
\nAnd grace her with Thy Eternal Presence
\nPresence she will feel when her Mother will embrace her forever<\/p>\n
Devi, please accept the humble prayers of this child
\nAnd make each and every atom of her being be drown in Your Divine Love.<\/p>\n
