GRATITUDE

GRATITUDE

Thank you Bhagavan Sri Ramana,
For calling me, trapped in world samsara,
And taking this stupid, sinful wretch,
As one of your flock, in order to fetch
And rouse me from dim psychotic sleep,
By your ocean of mercy and Teachings deep,
Pray make me worthy to receive your Grace,
And know my own Real Self, my original face.

A poor forlorn youth fell in the mire
Then was scalded by a forest fire,
The good Samaritan, noting well the scene,
Saved the lad from his nightmarish dream.
He took him caressingly beneath his wing,
Healed the boy , who then began to sing,
“To Thee, dear Guru of my mental field,
In true devotion, my mind, to thee, I yield.
