Goswami Tulsidas - Prayer 3 (translated in English)

O Lord who is there besides You who will hear my cry? <br /> <br />Strange is my petition: a poor man, I, I seek to become a king… <br /> <br />From time immemorial I have suffered the tortures of hell and have lived through many low births, but I crave not for wealth or even salvation though I know that You can confer all these. <br /> <br />What I desire is to become in every birth a toy for You to play with or a stone to touch Your Feet.<br /><br />Goswami Tulsidas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../prayer-3-translated
