By Sage Agasthya
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Here is grand prayer of utter simplicity from sage Agasthya.]
1. Adhya may saphalam janma cha sdhya may thwam paramthapa,
Adhya may saphalam jnanam Shambho thwath Pada adharath.
If my life is fruitful, it is due to you divine God,
If my intelligence is fruitful, it is due to my depending on your feet.
2. Krutharthoham, krutharthoham, Krutharthoham, Maheswara,
adhya they pada padmasya darsanath Bhakthavathsala
I am thankful to you, indebted to you, grateful to you, Oh great God,
As this is due to seeing your lotus like feet, Oh god who loves his devotees.
3. Shiva Shambhu, Shiva, shiva, Shiva, Shambhu, Shiva, Shiva,
Ithi Vyaaharatho nithyam Dhinaanyaanthu yanthu may.
Oh shiva, Shambhu, shiva, Shivahiva, shambhu, shiva, shiva,
Like this if I spend my days, then they are indeed well spent.
4. Shiva Bhakthi, shiva Bhakthi, Shiva Bhakthi Bhave bhave,
Sadaa bhooyath, sadaa bhooyath, sadaa bhooyaath sunischala,
Devotion to Shiva, devotion to Shiva, Devotion to shiva at every moment,
It always will happen, always will happen, always will happen without any doubt.
5. Vayan-m dhanyaa, vayam dhanyaa, vayam dhanyaa Jagat thraye,
Aadhi devo, mahadevo yadasmath kula deivatham.
I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed in all the three worlds,
If the primeval God, the cgreat God Shiva is the deity of my clan.
6. Hara Shambho Maha deva, Viswesa amaro vathsala,
Shiva sankara sarvathman, Neela kanda Namosthuthe.
Oh Hara, Oh shambhu, Oh great God, Oh lord of universe, Oh God who likes devas,
Oh shiva, Oh sankara, Oh souls of all, Oh blue necked one, I salute you.

"In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me. Then relationship has quite a different meaning, for in that space which is not made by thought, the other does not exist, for you do not exist. Meditation then is not the pursuit of some vision, however sanctified by tradition. Rather it is the endless space where thought cannot enter. To us, the little space made by thought around itself, which is the me, is extremely important, for this is all the mind knows, identifying itself with everything that is in that space. And the fear of not being is born in that space. But in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. We do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. This conflict, this torture, is not love. Thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. In that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. He seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction."
