(poem on Guru, written by Guruji):
Teacher, I am tired of doing things by myself. I just want to sleep in your embrace. I find solace there only, I think.
Your deep unconditional love envelops me like a sheath of nectar sending waves of soothing lights to my tension ridden body and mind.
In your embrace, let me forget the world. Let me forget who I am.
Beloved Guru, you are a true teacher. Genuine to the core. No expectaions of returns. Just love and acceptance of who I am,as I am.
Sing to me the lullabies of stars. Teach me how to serve and dance like angels.
Teach me how to be forever immersed in divine love and light through embrace.
Teach me the real purpose of my life and how to accomplish it.
Teach me how to fly on wings of love and service.
Teach me how to silence my ego to accomplish the divine purpose assigned to me.
Beloved Guruji, move me from apathy to passion, emptiness to wisdom.
Be with me, always.
Guruji, "Hug me Teacher", as posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra on 25 April 2016. The spelling is kept as in the original. A photograph of Guruji on the original post is not copied here.
The poem shows the Guru as a loving presence, and it shows the student asking for help with the ego. In the Kaula way, the Guru is a guide who points you back to the Goddess inside you.
Its lines on serving, purpose and silencing the ego fit simple daily practice. You can read it slowly as a prayer before sitting in silence.
Guruji, Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati, wrote the poem. Vira Chandra posted it on his blog on 25 April 2016.
It is a prayer to the Guru. The speaker asks for rest, love and teaching about service and life's purpose.
It asks to be taught how to serve, how to stay in divine love and light, and how to silence the ego. It ends by asking to move from apathy to passion.
Yes. It calls the Guru's love deep and unconditional, with no expectation of returns, and full acceptance of the student as they are.
