Kannamoochi Aattam-Hide and Seek game

Lord! I appeal to you! Please show yourself.
I can't stand this Hide and Seek game anymore!

When I breathe,

Just like how the dirty air is pushed out,
Please cleanse my mind of all the dirty thoughts
So that you become visible to me.

When I sleep,

Just like how I forget myself,
Please come in my dreams
So that you become visible to me.

When I hear,

No matter how terrible the sound is,
Let me only listen only your melodious flute
So that you are clearly visible to me.

When I walk,

Just like how a companion eases the journey
Let me feel you walking with me holding me tightly
So that you are clearly visible to me.

When I eat,

Just like how a baby is fed by mother,
Let me feed you lovingly with my hands
Your naughty smile clearly visible to me.

In short,

Lord! Let me be now and forever your perfect instrument!
Doing at each moment only what you want me to do
I know you hold the strings and I am a mere puppet!
But can't this puppet be reminded always about its controller?


This Karthigai Deepam,

Lamps were lit, Streets and houses shone bright
Let me use this light to search for you,
So that you become clearly visible to me.

At the battle of Kurukshetra,

You rode the five horses and steered the chariot to victory
Let my five senses be those horses, my body the chariot
So that you the rider becomes visible to me.

Lord! I appeal to you! Please show yourself.
I can't stand this Hide and Seek game anymore!
