Analysis of the Self
By Nate Natesan (Nateindks@hotmail.com)

1) Release me from the never-ending chain of desires

So I may live in peace with Absolute contentment

2) Free my mind from the darkness of lust

And fill my soul with the light of divine Love

3) Let me not live to eat & indulge in the unreal outer shelf

Eat but to live & realize my Real Inner Self

4) Let me not use words as missiles that injure

Use them but gentle sparingly for comfort & cure

5) Let me not forget my brittle dwelling of glass

So throw not I stones wherever I glance

 6) Enlighten my mind with the knowledge of thee

And releasing the weight that scholarship brings

 7) Detach my SELF from the bondage of my ego

So differentiated am I no more

 8) Let good tidings of others forever bring joy unqualified

And merge my soul with that of one & all

9) Inspire in me the sense of surrender at thy Lotus Feet

So sorrow not I see, but your dance to stay on my feet

10) Let me not do any work for rewards & fame

But let every act be dedicated to thy Name

 11) Help me eliminate the chatter in my mind

So I stay connected with thy Name on my mind

 12) Help me to enrich & protect my subjective mind

 To filter & deflect the objective mind

13) Help me to rid the fear so I am ever fearless

So I am true to Your Will & nature as a free Will

14) When you finally Grace me to thy shore

Let me please come with my friends Galore
