Glimpses of Sentiments
GIVE ME 'DARSHAN', Oh compassionate!
Oh Lord satisfying good wishes ! I remembered you very much. I worshipped you many times. I devoted myself to you. I have not kept any weakness in meditating upon you. I have also practiced your order with joy. In my devotion to you I have shed tears continuously. Thave prayed to you for a long time with an absolute concentration. Thave offered prayers with a sacred Deep', a lamp to you, I have waved 'CHAMAR,' a fan-like thing, lighted incence sticks and 'Deep,' lamps also. While chanting constantly your name and singing songs in your praise there is now pain in my throat. While respectfully, bowing down to you, my head also gets tired very much By performing 'KESAR POOJA', my fingers have been completely reddened. By performing devotional dance before you, my feet are tired very much. While playing musical instruments in your devotion my hands and fingers both are painfully tired. By keeping the neck high and with my thirsty eyes I am indeed very tired. Yet neither you come nor you give any indication of your coming. Were my worship, devotion, offering, prayers bogus, totally
