    I pray to Thee, my Lord.​

    I pray to thee my Lord to give me patience,
    like the earth for it endures all the injuries
    that man commits on its surface.

    I pray to thee My Lord to give me the quality of purity,
    Like water which is pure and transparent and flows down with humility,
    make me free from selfishness, lust, egoism, anger and greed.

    I pray to thee my Lord to give me detachment,
    Like the air which moves through various objects
    But has no attachment to the places or things,

    I pray to thee my Lord to give me equilibrium ,
    Not to be affected by temptations, troubles and difficulties.
    like a mountain that stands still through rough weather.

    A very good prayer Pushpavalli ma'am..if only we get all those qualities of the Five elements of nature, we would be one with the Nature, isn't it!

    Dear Sriniketan,
    Thank you for agreeing with me that we could merge with nature if we acquire these fine qualities.
    I feel the most difficult one to practice is detachement. The second one is patience. Though I make a resolution not to lose patience at times it seems quite difficult.
    So I am praying to the Lord to bestow me these qualities.
    Love,
    PS

    Pushpavalli ma'am,

    Those two qualities are indeed hard to practice.
    But one small step to further miles ahead..you know this na!
    This realisation to get these qualities are indeed step to your achievement..:thumbsup

    I am a pre-kg in this area...but one day I was thinking about this and remembered Azhwar's words.."naathazhumbera.."let us chant His names during those times and one day it would become a practice of chanting His name, whenever we lose our patience and practice detachment..:idea

    Don't ask me whether you are practicing it..:hide:

    Hello Mam

    A very wonderful poem with a deeper meaning.
    Very Nice.....

    Need to read this poem each day morning so that I realise where I stand and to pray to God with all humility to bless me with these virtues

    Dear Sriniketan,
    You are still young and you have duties and responsibilities and so it is difficult to practice these two qualities. When children stand up on their own feet and leave the nest, then only you can think about it. So do have patience till then. Chanting the Lord's name at those times will be definitely helpful!
    Love,
    PS

    Dear sobhi,
    Realising and seeking the Lord's help itself is a step towards the goal. You have already succeeded!
