To Our Revered Guru, With Love

Lost on the dark road of Life's glamour,

Ignorant animals that we are, 

Crippled by the night's darkness,

Our eyes cannot see what lies afar!

Thence, we come to Thy Holy Feet, 

Desiring to see through Thy Holy Eyes,

What lies here and what lies beyond, 

With that in mind, with Thou, we wish to cherish an everlasting bond! 

Because of Thy Grace, could this darkness be noticed, 

Otherwise, we would have perished, wandering in this unending forest. 

Thou only have been saving us from all this anguish, 

Thence, with gratitude, we humbly bow down to Thy Feet! 

Thou art our Guardian, 

Thou art our Guide, 

Without Thee how can we survive,

From the predators called grief, patrolling this land! 

Thou art our Refuge, 

To Thee, we surrender,

Thou art our Parama Pūjya Guru,

Thy Lotus Feet, we pledge to eternally worship! 

We pray to Thou to continue to illuminate us,

Guide us beyond this treacherous forest, 

Make us see through this dark night,

And merge us into the ocean of eternal bliss!
