Mother!

Friends, acquaintances and elders

Give us good education,

Then why is a Sat-Guru (Great Master) required

And how to recognise Him?

One who craves not an iota of wealth,

Or even a petal of flower.

One who is not infatuated

By any man, woman or power.

One who only immerses himself or herself,

In alleviation of human miseries of the world.

One who shows the path of Truth

And guides you to the love of Lord.

Oh devotee! Salute such a person

And touch his or her feet reverentially forever.

For indeed He or She is

The ‘Sat-Guru’, the Great Master.

The Sat-Guru loves his disciple;

As a cow loves it’s calf selflessly.

Oh! Devotee know this for sure,

But be dedicated to your duty,

When you stand, sit, walk or roam,

Laugh, speak, arise or sleep

Who regulates your breath?

Can you perceive?

It is God indeed, God indeed,

He loves all beings,

Be they of human,

Animal, birds or plant species.

In the Valmiki Ashram

Before even the sun rise

The sound waves spread everywhere

Of " Aum" and Vedic chants wise ||1||

The atmosphere is very ‘Sanskari’*

May Lav-Kush be imbued with it.

Let both of them remain pure

May they strength divine emit ||2||

Guru has given boat of knowledge

Give it the sail of Lord Rama's name

Sat-Guru is your boatswain

Remember always the Lord's name.

When one is attached to "Brahma Gnyan"

Then one can cross the life's Ocean

When Sat-Guru shows the right path

The lost pilgrim finds right direction.

As a child did you not yearn

For the love of your mother?

So also, the Atman (soul) is attracted by

Parmatman (God)

In a way somewhat similar

When a youth is adolescent,

A storm rages in his heart.

Do not people wisened,

Advise and help him out?

On the path of spiritual development,

When my steps falter and sway

The NECTAR OF WISDOM of Sat-Guru

Helps me find my way.

At the doorsteps of temple

Sit the devotees

Wearing the saffron coloured dress

Which tradition decrees ||1||

The attire is decided

As per one’s work done

But most important thing is

The inner virtue of each one ||2||

The dogs are very loving

They give protection through night

Even if nobody asks

During the day what's their plight||1||

Such is the virtue of saints

Several people they have evolved

Even if people don't appreciate

After their problem is resolved ||2||

As the beautiful flower in garden

Brings joy and looks awesome

In the same way Oh dear friends!

Let devotion blossom ||1||

When fruits are borne on branch

Flowers themselves wilt away

When the creeper of good deeds grows

The saint will go away ||2||

The tree bears on its head

The heat of the Sun,

But it gives a cool shade

To the passing caravan.

One who says in this way?

The world is my family

He must bear difficulties

To bring in harmony.

Will I get an audience

With the Great Master?

This thought worries me,

How will the difficult road,

To His abode be traversed?

Indeed, by bearing the flag

Of goodwill for all,

While remembering to fulfill one’s duty,

And at the same time,

Not having attachment that is illusory.

Would my loving Lord come

To take us all home? ||Refrain||

Lav – Kush are five years old now

The twins are very cute. ||1||

Would.....

In shadow of the tree Rama will stop

My little ones and I will be at the doorstep.||2||

Would ......

He would be standing anxiously

He would call to His children.||3||

Would ........

Lav – Kush will hug me

The kids will ask, who is He? ||4||

Would ..........

You are the sons, He is your father

Mutely will speak my tears. ||5||

Would ..............

Come and live in the palaces

He will say entreatingly. ||6||

Would ...........

Mother we like this forest

We are happy playing here. ||7||

Would ............

My Lord is there and my soul here

I would be in a quandary. ||8||

Would .............

One who loves you but remains as a shadow

'How will my flock progress spiritually'

Is the only concern he has in mind forever

He indeed is a Sat-Guru Maooli

He gives you a boat of guiding words

Will serve mankind for ages very valuably

His heart is both of father and mother

He is indeed a Sat-Guru Maooli*.
