'Oh God! I am not able to see Thee, who dost dwell in my own athma. I am not able to see Thee or Thy brilliance externally, either. I am helpless and incapable.

It is only with Thy mercy that I can remove this layer of ignorance that envelopes me. He! Paramathma, have mercy on me. Man has to pray to God in the above manner, completely resigning himself to Paramathma.
