Prayers
From Face to Face with Sri Ramana Maharshi
I am tied to myself, by myself, through myself. The knot is out of reach. I am in your hands. Whatever you like, you are welcome to do.
Thou hast risen in my heart like the sun destroying darkness.
Be with us every fleeting hour. Increase our silence. Focus our vision on the Self Lord!
Grant that let at least my tongue may repeat Thy name even when my mind strays.
Hail to the Lord who through his love refreshed my heart, banishing my deluded attachment to property ownership, wealth and lust.
Merge my mind in the Self as salt is dissolved in water and restore my natural happiness.
I lay offerings of UNCHANGING love at Thy Holy Feet.
Remove our darkness with your searching light.
I pray to Thee for light and guidance that I know are ever there.
Thou art my Mother, Master and Friend, my only Beloved- All glory to Thee! All glory to Thee! Transmute me until I am blended with you so that both are as One.
A prey to my unsteady mind, I lack patience, I lack constancy, I lack purity. Forgive the grievous wrong of that poor self, and do as Thou wilt, Thou who knowest best. But grant me only ever increasing love For Thy Feet.
Lord! You are our only refuge. You alone can save us.
