Oh Sai Sadguru

 Oh Sai Sadguru, the wish fulfilling tree of the devotees, Let us never forget and lose sight of Your Feet; we have been troubled with the ins and outs (births and deaths) in this samsar; now free us from this cycle of births and deaths. Restrain us from the outgoing of our senses to their objects, introvert us and bring us face to face with the Atma (Soul). As long as this outgoing tendency of the senses and the mind is not checked, there is no prospect of self-realization. Neither son, nor spouse nor friend will be of any use in the end. It is only You, Who will give us salvation and happiness. Destroy completely our tendency for meaningless discussions and other evil matters, let out tongue get a passion for chanting Your name. Drive out our thoughts, good or otherwise and make us forget our bodies and possessions, and do away with our egoism. Make us ever remember Your name and forget all other things. Remove the restlessness of our mind, and make it steady and calm. If you just hold us, the darkness of night of our ignorance will vanish and we shall live happily in Your light. That You made us drink the nectar of Your Leelas and awakened us from our slumber is due to Your grace and our store of merits from past births.
