Santana Ogo Santana
Santana ogo santanaNaiba pelam hriday gabhire
Tomar asim santana
Shudhu jachi taba kripa hasi
Tomare karite dibase nishite
Kritana prane bandana
Consolation-light, O consolation-light,
Even though I do not feel
Your gracious presence
In the depths of my heart,
I beg of you to grant me only one boon:
Do give me a heart of gratitude
For what You have already given me
And allow me to worship You
Soulfully and unreservedly.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 1, Agni Press, 1977
