Glimpses of Sentiments
small one and a Supreme One? Oh you! With noble character ! This is sustained only due to your generosity. I commit mistake every moment and you have been pardoning that. You spread a carpet of compassion, 1 discard it. Frequently I become doubtful and without faith in various talks. And yet, you accept me. That indicates that you are Supreme. At every moment I reach the summit of false pride and fall from there severely Yet you continue to do dressings. That is your greatness. My temparament changes like clouds. Even then, you take my care, this is indicative of your ownership. There are all possibilities of getting everything scattered when I get up early in the morning from sleep and yet you take my care. This is your pure compassion. Oh inconceivable diamond of the learned ! I now do not want to make any demand from you. I only wish to offer my feelings, sentiments at your pious feet. How much and how should I express my thanks to you? What you have given me is not only adequate; I feel it is much more than I deserve and more than my eligibility. Because of your excessive generosity, perhaps, I do not lose my discretion; you do take care of that. But will this my low, intense voice reach you ?
