Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Even at that time, surrounded with the friends and relatives striving hard to 
observe the presence of the breath and the heart-beat in the chest,
with the flum inside and with the limitless suffering got,
oh the One inside my Atma, may my life resort to Your two Feet!
