“ The Quest Stops…. In Stillness!”

God, protect us and keep us ever from harm!
Thou art the great captain,
And a mighty steamship on the ocean of being
Is thy foot.

Counting all things here,
Touching them one by one,
We come at last to where,
There is no more left,
They, lo, the quest stops
In stillness in thee,
Like-wise, let the inner self
Attain its rest!

Food and clothes, and all things else we need
Thou gives us unceasingly,
Ever saving us from want.
We thrive on thy bounty, lord!
Our only god thou art.

To sea, and wave and wind and depth compared,
Let us within s see the plan, respectively
Of us ourselves, of Maya,
Thy power and thou thyself!
Thee we find in creation,
The creator, too, thou didst become, and
Creation’s myriad magic,
And the very stuff of all created things.

Truth thou art.
And knowledge and Bliss like-wise.
The present time art Thou,
Past and future merge in unity in thee.
Even the spoken word…
A moment’s thought reveals….
As but of thine own self again.

Victory to thee, Great master!
Ever-watchful saviour,
All-knowing, bliss filled sea of kindness, Hail!

In the deep deep ocean of Thy Glory,
Let us all together immersed be,
For ever and for ever….
There to dwell, everlastingly, In bliss.
