======================
O Saraswati,
Fair Goddess of learning
Open my inner eyes
To behold the wonders of His creation :
The singing sky, the roaring ocean,
And forever twinkling stars,
To come to know
That they are but the shadow,
Of that form Divine .
Oh , you Sharda,
Who are lighter than the petals
of a lotus white :
Give me wings
To take me through the Web
Of Life and Death,
To merge into the eternal Brahman ,
Which alone IS,
And pervades the cosmos
Without being seen
