Oh dear friend
Show me the way!
Cause I am lost, hopeless,
and helpless!
But with the touch of Your Grace
the blind can see the sky,
the deaf can hear sound,
and cripples can climb hills!
Oh dear Friend, show me the way!
Engulfed by delusion,
lusting for illusion
I wake up daily in confusion.
Praying for the ability,
to respond with humility,
according to time, place, and
circumstances.
Alas, only lust, greed, and anger,
dwell in my heart,
and sense gratification
is keeping me away
from my real identification.
Struggling daily with the senses
fighting over every inch of saneness
I am slowly suffocating
in the incessant flow
Of All
unwanted desires,
unexpected outcomes,
and unfortunate reactions!
I try introspection,
sometimes meditation
but somehow I keep
losing my attention.
The tongue spits poison here and there,
the eyes are lusting everywhere,
the ears attach themselves to nowhere.
and I keep attaching myself to anywhere.
Ignorance is creeping behind the corner,
happily awaiting for me to create disorder,
knowing very well that I can’t find any order.
I scream and shout in the dark
and keep calling Your Holy Name out,
but the only sound I hear back,
is the silence of the night.
In this lowly condition,
In this desperate position,
we the conditions souls
suffer our ups and downs.
Until Grace touches our hearts,
we should keep cleaning the heart,
we should keep praying in the mind
and we should keep calling His Holy Name out!
Oh dear friend
Show me the way!
cause I am lost, hopeless,
and helpless!
But with the touch of Your Grace
the blind can see the sky,
the deaf can hear sound,
and cripples can climb hills!
Oh dear Friend show me the way!
