Oh Lord! Thy grace alone will enable me to abandon my love and
affection towards my relatives. And after surrendering my soul in you , leaving
out everything. I will wander about looking upon the whole world and I would do
both these acts after clearly understanding that as an expression of Maayaa. I
am differentiating between good and bad and also do acts of assertion and
negation. How can both of these apply to a person whose mind is engrossed in
Thee and thereby transcends such notions?

There are countless beings who are always absorbed in satisfying
their hunger and thirst. Among them,a man who is superior for being endowed
with a discriminative mind. And to get to be born as man is indeed very rare.
And even among these men, some of them become their own enemy or friend, . A
person whose mind is absorbed in Thee And
who keeps his devotion in you and find a way out of all pain,And enemy
is the one who is not like that and suffers.2

O Lord of the Universe! When Thy grace illumines the functioning
of this world,from whom one can learn several valuable lessons and imbibe many
noble qualities. I will learn the lesson of true forbearance from the earth
that does not move inspite of being oppressed by all. And from that I would
learn the quality of patience, The air is always in contact with various
objects but which stays unaffected by the myriad objects it comes into contact
with; I would understand from wind that , though I do have contact,With many
things I should not have any attachment with anything, I would learn from Space
that even though,which is all pervasive and taintless. Soul is in every being
it should not get tainted by all that.

Like water I would be without dirt and wash away dirt from
everything And would be sweet for every one,Like the fire in spite of eating
different types of food, I would not get affected by the food that I eat,Like
the fire that burns from different types of wood, Being the same , I would
understand my soul is no different ,From the millions of the soul in this
world, From the growth and diminishing phase of the moon,I would understand all
changes are for the body, And does not affect the soul inside and not only
that, By Thy grace, may I realise that soul is same, the oneness of all
individual bodies, even while appearing to be different reflected images of the
sun in universal like water, mirrors, etc.

From the Dove, which perishes while trying to save its loved
ones from the hunter, may I learn the lesson Let me not destroy myself due to
excessive attachment. Like a python I will learn to eat whenever I get food,
And starve and bear it when no food is available. Python which eats only what,
by chance, comes its way; let me strive to be content. Like an ocean I would be
serene and deep teaches me to be calm and unfathomable. Like the firefly let me
not fall in the fire, May I learn to resist the blandishments of the fair sex,
etc.from the Moth, which, being attracted by the fire, falls into it and
perishes. Let me be like a bee and extract the essence out of things,And let me
not accumulate wealth like a bee and perish because of it.5

O Lord! May I not be captivated by attractive women, unlike the

me not earn wealth in plenty because it is taken away by others,For like the
hunter taking away the honey. even as honey stored by the Honey-bee is, by the
honey gatherers. Like that Someone would definitely snatch wealth away from me
. Let me not be attracted into a snare by sweet words, , unlike the deer which
is charmed by vulgar music. May I not be too attached to food like a fish that
falls to the bait. Like Pingalaa may I sleep soundly without a care. O Lord!
May I not be kill me for the attachment to wealth,Like the Karara bird in the
manner of the Kurara Bird, being attacked by other birds in order to snatch the
meat from its mouth and being killed for
the meat.6

of contacts and conflicts May my mind be absorbed in Thee and not know anything
beyond that like the arrow maker who does not know the announcement of the
king's coming. May I live in houses made by others, and so be not attached to
any house, like the snake who lives in the holes made by rats7

Alas, alas, Oh Lord of Guruvayur , please drive away my
attachment to my body,For being in love with this body and thinking of home,
wealth , wife and children, and so we forget Thy lotus feet. In the end this
body becomes food to fire, dogs, etc. after death,while, when alive, the sense
organs (eyes, ears, skin and tongue) drag the human being hither and thither,
back and forth, towards their objects, But There is none to take us to Thy
lotus feet.

after very many manifold births, And which would help one get salvation,In to
the very base attraction lowly sensuous pleasures, and Oh Lord of Guruvayur! ,
please protect me.
