Humble Prayer

Posted March 1, 2021

Baba, please do light my path
So that I may not stumble
And complete my journey to the last,
Without a groan or grumble.

Baba, please grant me the sight,
To see my real self;
And equip me better them to fight,
These worldly mithya [false], pomp and pelf.

My Baba, to You, therefore, I pray,
To guide me through this mire,
And let me soar above the fray,
To know and behold the Godly Fire.

Baba, please hasten the day,
When on me Your light will shine,
Knowing truly throughout the way
That I am Yours and You are mine.

Baba, please let this be
My humble prayer to Thee,
My good actions the only fee
For You becoming my Sarathi.

~K. D. Bhatia
