ଶ୍ରୀ ସଦ୍ଗୁରୁଂଚୀ ଆରତୀ

A short Marathi arati to the Sadguru which states its own paradox in the opening line: with an arati that has qualities we wave the lamp to what has none. The lamp is described to match, since the ghee poured into it is imagination and that is what gets lit. What is offered afterwards is not incense or flowers either. The delusion of ignorance has settled on us and we will tear it out and throw it away; hope and craving and thirst and desire and anger are what get waved round the head and cast off, in the gesture ordinarily used to avert harm. Three verses, the middle one carrying that catalogue, and the last saying that the Sadguru was worshipped with the sixteen services and that Ramananda became free while still living in the world. The signature is Ramananda's own.
