Mere Gurudev, charanon par sumana shraddha ke arpita hai
Tere hee dena hai jo hai.
Wahi tujha ko samarapita hai
Na priti hai pratiti hai, na hi puja ki shakti hai
Meraa yaha man, meraa yaha tan,
meraa kan kan samarapita hai
Tuma hee ho bhaava men mere,
vicharon mein, pukaron mein.
Banaale yantra ab mujhko
mere saravatra samarapita hai

My Gurudev, I offer these flowers of my faith at your feet.
Whatever I have, you have given to me, and I dedicate it all to you.
I have no love, nor do I know you. I dont even have the strength to worship you.
But this mind of mine, this body of mine, my every atom is dedicated to you.
You are the only one in my heart and my thoughts. You are the one who I call out to.
Now make me your instrument... all I am I offer to you.

a teacher of teachers, kinetic genuis, poet, philosopher, artist, this man's teachings gave me the strength to look at my illusions and dualities, tear them down, fall on my face, and rise again and again, stronger of body, clearer of mind, more joyful in spirit, each time . . .this man is the embodiment of the practice, and the practice is love.

There are no sinners in this world. There are learners. Learners live by living out their concerns and seeing the project through until the end. It is in the end that we learn to become Masters. Self-Mastery is by far the greatest conquest any human being shall ever face. It is in the darkness of our soul that we find the light. Darkness is simply a lack of bright illumination from the source within each one of us. As we face the light and take in its brightness, we become that light we seek!
