Please guide my ship...

(2098)  Ei anurodh prabhu tava carane

Lord, only this I ask at Your lotus feet:
On the path of righteousness my mind do steer.
If at any time I be swallowed by despondency,
Please hold the lamp of hope before me.

If ever hatred, fear, or shame
At any time impede my way,
With thunderous voice bring awareness.
In the yearning for pleasures worldly,
If the mind should become frenzied,
My dormant humanity please awaken.

On Your path I will proceed;
That I not stoop to evil deeds,
You Yourself, be the journey's pilot.
