I Want Poem by Gajanan Mishra

I want material prosperity
I want good wife good house
Sufficient land good children
Aristocratic family relations
Victory over competitors and also
Attainment of accommodations
In the higher celestial planets
All at a time but I forget You
At the same time I forget Your
Mercy and benediction
I believe only in personal endeavor
And so I am far from success.

I am deluded by intelligence
And so I am in miseries
I am facing excessive heat cold rains
I am facing famine disease epidemic
I forget that all are my punishment
I am in delusion O my dear and I am
Meeting my failures every time
I know I can not conquer the reaction
Of material energy so long as
You are not present and so long as
I have no devotion and so long as
I have not surrendered myselfe before You.
