ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:37: DESPITE ROWING OARS NO
PROGRESS !
Oh Saviour from the Ocean of life! In the ocean of life the boat of the soul moves here and there without any direction. There is constant rowing of oars. But there is not much progress. Because there is one oar yours and one oar mine. Your oar is quite good; yet I like, I love my oar. And the directions of rowing are different! How can a boat progress? Now I wish that both oars become yours. Otherwise, in this manner there will not be any kind of progress. Boasting of the light in a sealam totally confused in the darkness. You hold my hand and lead me to eternal light. You take away me from this astringent - salty- dark ~ unharmonious sea of life; and take me quite near you. You save me from the vicious circles drawn by me one upon another. You bring down to the ground the iron - wall of discrimination. You take me out of the knots of my all kinds of beliefs. You save me from vicious, torchurous circle of misunderstandings. You remove me from this net of my illusions.
