Of your mercy so instruct me that I may see Rāma with my own eyes.

Excerpt

Devotion to Rāma, O wisest of sages, is like the element of water and my soul—which is as it were a fish—how can it exist without it? Of your mercy so instruct me that I may see Rāma with my own eyes.

✨ To meditate on today

Today, with each glass of water you drink, remember that your soul too needs its source of love, and offer it a moment of prayer or silence.
