Bow my head

Bow my head

down under your feet

drown all my arrogance

in the drops of tears.

To glorify myself

I invite insults to myself,

I waste my time flittering

around my very self.

Drown all my arrogance

in the drops of tears.

 

May I never glorify myself

in any thing I do.

Let your desires fulfill

through the life of me.

All I yearn for is

your endless peace,

your divine presence

in my very soul.

Hide my ego reveal yourself

in the lotus of my heart.

Drown all my arrogance

in the drops of tears.

 

 

 

Rabindranath Tagore.
