I FIRMLY BELIEVE...

(the following poem was penned by Bhagawan Shree SATHYA SAIBABA 4 Decades ago, and given to Prof. N. Kasturi on NEW YEAR's EVE, 1960.)


I FIRMLY BELIEVE...


I firmly believe there is none kinder than You,
to shower Grace on me.
Tell me, is this not the reason why
I am at Your Lotus Feet?

I firmly believe You will respond quick
when I do pray and plead.
Tell me, is this the reason why
I am crying aloud for You?

I firmly believe You are ever beside me
to guide my steps aright.
Tell me, is this not the reason why
I am Yours thro' day and night.

I firmly believe You can never say 'No'
Whatever I ask from You.
Tell me, is this the reason why
I long for a glance from You?

What have You designed for me this time?
Why this dire delay to offer boons?

However long You make me wait and wail
I will not leave, I'll be standing still
Until Your loving eyes do turn on me.

OM SAIRAM
