I depend on you

Sri-Guru-Carana-Padma

I try to present your qualities to my heart

I see the birds are flying, full of trust and so high

just like you´re exploring the spiritual sky

I see the rivers flowing - so determined
- to their goal

you're not less determined in reaching the supreme soul

I see trees tall and graceful, they seem so humble and renounced

but their behavior doesn´t seem at all profound

when a detached soul like you is around

and so I can see what I have done

for my egoistic, selfish fun

and now I see that all I have to do

is trying to surrender to you

'cause I depend on you

when I want to see the truth

I see the great horizon leading to places far behind

but next to you he seem to have a narrow mind

'cause your ways lead to places out of space and time

I see the sun enlightening us with her purifying complexion

but you are more empowered, you clean the world from all reactions

you open our eyes for the eternal attraction

I see the sky above us, touching every place

but you are much more touching, you reach the hearts with your grace

I see clouds are raining, saving the woods from fire

but you have more compassion, you save the world from desire

When I see the ocean, I ask myself how deep is the sea

it stores so much essential water, and all the fish can live so free

But with your depth you lift us over this ocean above

and there we find an ocean of free, divine love

and so I can see my misery,

and that I shall surrender to your Lotosfeet

and now I know that all I have to do

is trying to satisfy you

cause I depend on you when I want to see the truth

I see the greatest mountains, they seem so save for destruction

they collect the water from the sky for satisfaction

but you are much more stable, 'cause you are based on eternity

and you collect the nectar, 'cause our souls are so thirsty

I see the stars are moving, watching every scene

they know all the karma from every being

but then I see your wisdom, how this cuts karma in two

and then I see the stars and how they glorify you

the universe surrounds me, it is to huge for my mind
but different to this you embrace us with love and light

you are like the window that leads us out of its fight

and so I can see my hard small heart,

and that my long way back home is just in the start

I understand that the only thing left to do

Is trying to please you

'cause I depend on you like the body on the food

all I have to do

is trying to surrender to you

'cause I depend on you like ebb and flood on the moon

I depend on you like a tree leaf on the root

I depend on you on every step and I will allways do

I depend on you in everything that I do

The angel-like voice in the background is Stella, a very experienced singer, who sings in many choirs, she gives the song a really divine mood :-) The water and the birds in the beginning bring the mood of sitting in the nature and meditating about it while realizing how much greater GuruMaharaja indeed is!
