Your Name My Sanctuary – Ii Poem by Raman Savithiri

What do I want as needed the most?
Except your caring name the dearest!
Before I was born it was in my heart.
By torment of life, it surfaced out!

Your sweet name has been with me,
Throughout my evolution-steps many,
Pulling me inward, towards silence,
Though I am insensitive long since!

Your divine name will lead me,
After death, to other worlds any!
Or will dissolve my little self,
To merge into eternal thyself!

When I am ordained to obtain,
Your loving name alone for certain,
After life on earth to take away,
Why should I wish things that sway?

When I am awake closing my eyes,
Looking deep into my mind abyss,
This truth flashes as lightning,
For a jiffy, gloomy life brightening!

When I open my eyes, blind I turn.
I often stumble on desires that burn!
Is it that hard for You to bestow,
A stable vision to see truth now?
