O God! Do Thou guard us, and forsake us not;
Thou art sailor across the sea of suffering
Thy Feet a Mighty Steam-boat.
One by one, when all have been told,
as none is left over, Save the teller
So may the inner Self, be firmly fixed in Thee!
Giver of never-failing gifts of food
and clothing and other things,
Our Guardian, Thou, who enriches our lives
Thou, and thou alone, art, to us Overlord.
Like the sea and waves and the wind
and the deep may we and the great illusion
and Thy Might and Thyself be comprehended by me!
Thou are Creation itself, the Creator and the Universe
of created Things and Thou art
O! God! Likewise the Material, Apparatus
and Furniture of Creation
Thou art the great illusion, and also the Author and
Enjoyer of that illusion, and Thou are the master
who can remove the illusion and grant the Supreme Union
Thou art the truth and Wisdom and joy
Thou art likewise the present, past and future
Nor art Thou really separate
from the spoken Word
Thy Being filled intensely, to overflowing,
With transcendent Glory, We praise O! 'Great One'
Victory to Thee who art full of Auspicious Marks
Victory of thee, O! Great Shining One,
Protector of the week. Victory to Thee, O!
Blissful triving, Ocean of love,
to thee all Victory
In the Deep Sea, of Thy Majestic Splendour
may we all be deeply immersed and forever
may Bliss Eternal reign supreme!
