You are to be adored, You are Truth unchanging, You are Lord of the Gunas. In my weakness I have neglected, O Remover of delusion, to worship You, earnestly and unceasingly; Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly. This chimera called life can be dispelled by Love, Adoration and Understanding; These three bring us quickly to our goal: the Truth of Brahman. But, alas, though I speak these words with my lips, they find no echo in my heart; Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly. O Ramakrishna, You are the path that leads to Truth. If a man offers You his heart, he soon overcomes the world and finds fullness of Eternal Life; For you still the waves of death and bring immortality into the world of mortals. Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly. Lord, Your name, Ramakrishna, is goodness and purity Itself; graciously it awakens us from our delusion. He who chants Your name, though he be a sinner, will become a saint. You are the refuge of us all. I have no other goal but You. Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly.
