TRANSLATION

Gurudeva, give to this servant just one drop of mercy. I am lower than

a blade of grass. Give me all help. Give me strength. Let me be as you

are, without desires or aspirations.

 

I offer you all respects, for thus I may have the energy to know you

correctly. Then, by chanting the holy name in great ecstasy, all my

offenses will cease.

 

When will such mercy fall to this one who is weak and devoid of

strenght and intelligence? Allow me to be with you.

 

If you examine me, you will find no qualities. Your mercy is all that I

am made of. If you are not merciful unto me, I can only weep, and I

will not be able to maintain my life.
