Om Shri Guru, 
To you, I bow again and again.
You will only open my eyes,  
My heart to thee, 
For the wisdom to arise in me.  
The fool in me 
Lived in ignorance,  
But not any more now 
I am ready to face  the world
Life’s strides to allow.  
I pray for your blessings,  
To quieten the noises,  
To delve deep within, 
As the expectation rises.  
Under your shelter, 
Consciousness evolves,  
Ego shattered and may 
forever fall.  
With your wisdom, 
darkness turns to light, 
Guiding me steadfastly, 
towards what’s right.  
May I embody 
The essence of your teachings  
In actions and life’s twists  
Today, I am at your feet,  
May you dispel the darkness,  
And guide me always.
