A Prayer To Thee



As I walk down the path of life,
Make me, O Lord, feel
The wild thorns that grow along,
Make me struggle and stumble,
Make me, O Lord, bleed.

That I may lend a helping hand,
A word of love, a smile
To help a staggering soul along
Cross a weary mile.

That I may live to love
And cause the sun to shine
Everywhere I go.

That I may smile off
Every heart’s gloom,
Rob the thorns of pain
And cause the roses to bloom.

As I walk down the path of life,
Bless me, O Lord,
With ennobling sufferings

That I may serve Thee more.

Alone Thyself

Alone, alone, all alone, Alone in the wide, wide world, Alone in the din, Alone in the bustling crowd, Alone all abound. Let the cavalcade pass by Loaded with fun and frolic, Roars of laughter, Peels of revelry, As on the side lines I stand stark and stoic. Should I then be lonely?... Deep down the abyss, The ripples of emptiness, Let me, o Lord, hear Thee. Let me feel Thy ineffable presence. In my vivacious void, In ecstasy of exuberant yearning, Let me love Thy gracious glory. Alone but not lonely, Aloud in endless quietude Let me then pray Thee And one with Thyself be.                                                                                       11/2017

He is our Guruji, Shri CB Satpathy. For quite some time Guruji had been advising me to visit Shirdi and seek Baba’s blessings. And the opportunities came as I set out for the cherished destination with my wife and six years old daughter on 10 th March 1994. After visiting a relative at Mumbai, when we reached Shirdi next morning by bus, I couldn’t believe a small town as this could occupy such prominent place in the tourist map of India. As we got down the bus, we saw an old man about sixty with white beards straightaway came to us and said, “Welcome sir; give me  the luggage and I will take you to the best lodge near the temple. Instantly the porter appealed to us and I asked him to take us to the Sai Sansthan. As we quietly followed him, my wife whispered, “Does not
