Let me be a true sannyasi

(3078)  Je path dhariya caliyachilo prabhu

Lord, holding to the path had they moved,
All the ascetics; You now goad me on that way.
With rays of light illuminating, with truth unveiled,
Clinging to that path I'll go, renouncing shame.

Let there be a hundred pebbles, let all thorns remain;
Upon high-tide I will carry on, I'll not credit wane.
With only Your stream of thought, shedding just Your rays,
I will go on sailing, dressed however You'll array.

On Your path, Lord, there is not a trace of fear;
This be my only prayer: kindly grant a jot of mercy.
It will hew all deep attachment, doubt it will cleave;
With feet unwavering, doing Your deeds I'll remain.
