Oh dear! For whom are you not loved one ? That is a big question. Because of your presence this terrifying life also appears beautiful. Only because of your hearty presence, other lives collecting their fortune gain peace- 'SAMADHI-righteous path - happiness-- conveniences etc. In your presence even a disturbance gets converted into quietude. Adversities also turn into favourable things. Even evil direction becomes proper direction. Even instincts get converted into praiseworthy things. Even evils get converted into virtues. Therefore I do not pray to you for happiness- peace- righteous path. Everywhere you remain near me- that is my hearty request to you. If because of rising of my sins I go to the hell; even then you just do not leave my soul. Only because of your presence, for Shrenik even the hell has not become evil direction. Where evil intellect does not come how could it be called evil direction ? Because of your absence for 'Goshala', even the heaven has not become proper direction. Where righteous intellect does not come, who would call it
