I Kept Running Around all my Life
O Lord!
I kept running around all my life but did not reach anywhere; for the real reaching is, where the need for running ceases.
I accumulated a lot but did not accomplish anything; for real accomplishment is when no desires arise.
A hope would arise, get shattered and another would replace it soon. How can this blind chase end unless the fire of hopes and desires does not get extinguished?
O Lord! I feel blessed, for Your teachings made me realise that life is short and my real work for liberation has not been accomplished. Now, I shall not stop anywhere. Following Your instructions, I will burn away all my flaws.
O Benevolent Guide! Thank You for making me realise that there cannot be a better time than now. May I not lose this opportunity. May I increase my yearning for the Divine so much that the real inner work begins. With Your grace and guidance, may I reach the state of fulfilment in this very life.
Om Peace Peace Peace
