FRUIT OF REALISATION

Forgive my Lord ¹Mabadev! forgive this sinner of type despicable, Accursed and abandoned, depised and doomed for evils incalculable Roamed about restless like a wastrel ever since the dawn of ²gnana Neither useful to community, nor self due to conceited ³agnana

Freak as I was, grew no doubt in age, but not in mind and soul
Assailed by repercussions of acts wicked and thoughts most foul
Realised at long last, on burning out the entire wick of life That refuge in Thee alone puts an end to all worldly strife

Dashed off to get for ⁴naivedya - ⁵phala, ⁶patra ⁷pushpa ⁸thoyam fine With strong resolve to placing on the altar those of quality divine  Wandered and wandered over hill and dale, plain and forest interior  But found none untainted, or untouched either exterior or interior.
