Prayers and Aspirations

In Thy Presence Alone

Guided by my old beliefs (2)
    Led by my old beliefs,
Blinded by my old habits, (2)
If I happen to go against Thy will, (2)
    Your Champak prays today,
    Prays today: (2)

On this pure, happy auspicious Gurupurnima Day, (2)
Spreading Your presence everywhere, in all places, (2)
In Your presence only, in Your presence alone, (2)
Keep me, keep me, keep me, keep me, keep me,
    In Your presence alone,
Keep me always constantly at Your feet (3)
    O ...Ma, O ...Ma ....
Keep me always constantly at Thy feet, Thy feet, Thy feet.

(6.7.82)

In life I had aspired to serve the Mother,
    With love and devotion,
Service I offered at Her feet alone, (2)
The Mother accepted it with joy, (3)
By doing this alone I found my life blessed,
Felt blessed, felt blessed, felt blessed.
