 Bhakti Theology Song 1343

1343 I depend upon you

 

When I live

Depending only on you

A hope will come

Within my heart

 

When there is

None to help

I will become strong

As you give strength

 

Though there might be

Thousands of reasons

For me to become tired

As trials come

 

Definitely there

Is a reason

To overcome it

And to win

 

When your protection is

Around me

As your grace

Gives me courage

 

There is no chance

For any defeat

You never redeemed me

To be defeated

 

The trials might give

Some tiredness

Only in the body

When they come

 

Seeing the tiredness

In the body

The heart also might

Be discouraged

 

But the grace and peace

That you give

Will give more and more

Strength to my spirit

 

No new trials

Have come to me

That do not come

To others

 

But you never set

Any kind of limitation

To your grace

That you bestow to me

 

Added to that as you are there

To give company to me

No trial will

Ever overcome me

 

As long as there is support

For the creeper to spread

It never fells

However the wind blows

As they have to attend one important function in their relatives house the helpers didn’t come today.  In the past when I stayed with my mother seven years before I managed everyday life plus taking care of the ashram without any helper for several weeks.  But now the scenario has changed.  The only fear I have is that what if my mother fell down?  Then I cannot lift her alone.  So from the morning I took extra care in doing all my regular work. I walked a bit extra slowly so that I wouldn't fall or hurt myself. Similarly when I took my mother to give her a bath I was very careful and took all the precautions so that she wouldn't fall down while I gave her. So all the activities done with extra care and strain took a toll on my body and when I was about to retire to bed in the night, I sat quietly and amazed the way the Lord gave me both strength and inner peace throughout the day. Considering the trials and troubles that most of the people face each day is more and what I undergo each day is almost nothing compared to them.  However what I realized is that God never set any limitation to pour His grace to me and gave much inner strength and encouragement to carry out even normal life with much grace and peace.  Then I said to the Lord in my prayer [In Tamil] when I live depending upon you there is hope in me’.  Then as inspiration came I wrote this song as my prayer and thanks giving to the Lord

 

1343 உன்னையே சார்ந்தேன்

 

உன்னையே சார்ந்து

வாழ்ந்திடும் போது

வந்திடும் உள்ளத்தில்

நம்பிக்கை ஒன்று

 

உதவிட எவரும்

வாராத போது

வந்திடும் வலிமை

நீதர நன்று

 

சோதனை ஒன்று

தேடியே வந்திட

சோர்ந்திடக் காரணம்

ஆயிரம் இருந்தும்

 

மேற்கொண்டு அதனை

வென்றுமே காட்ட

காரணம் மட்டும்

நிச்சயம் உண்டு

 

உன்காவல் என்னைச்

சூழ்ந்துமே இருக்க

உன்னருள் எனக்குத்

துணிவையும் அளிக்க

 

தோல்விக்கு எந்த

வாய்ப்புமே இல்லை

தோற்றிட வென்று

மீட்கவும் இல்லை

 

வந்திடும் சோதனை

மிஞ்சியே போனால்

தந்திடும் சோர்வை

தேகம் தன்னில்

 

மேனியில் வந்திடும்

சோர்வினைக் கண்டு

உள்ளமும் சற்று

தளர்ந்திடக் கூடும்

 

ஆயினும் நீதரும்

அருளும் அமைதியும்

ஆவியை மேலும்

வலிமை ஆக்கும்

 

பிறர்க்கு வாராத

சோதனை ஏதும்

புதிதாய் எனக்கு

வந்திட வில்லை

 

ஆயினும் எனக்கு

நீதரும் அருளுக்கு

வரைமுறை இதுவரை

நீவைக்க வில்லை

 

அத்துடன் உனது

துணையும் இருக்க

சோதனை ஏதும்

மேற்கொள்வதில்லை

 

படரக் கொம்பு

உள்ள வரையில்

காற்று அசைத்தும்

கொடி வீழ்வதில்லை
