Concentration 13

Thank You Aum. Thank You Gye Nyame.

Thank You Aum. Thank You Gayatri.

1

Our purity of consciousness increases as a result of concentrating on You.

We concentrate on You as the Source and Witness of all Consciousness. All

we think, feel, will, feel, say and do is witnessed by You. We concentrate on

You. Gradually our consciousness is cleansed and there is restoration of our

original pride, dignity, and self respect leading back to Divine Awareness.

2

We concentrate on You as within and beyond space, time and

circumstance. Moreover, we think of You as the Source of

Spiritual Consciousness and the Righteous Power that

protects Justice, Karma. Thank You for granting us success

in our humble attempts to concentrate on You in so many

ways.

3

Concentration on You is is accomplished through righteous prayer, study,

sacrifice, service, meditation, right association, and constant praise and

thanksgiving offered to You. Thank You for accepting this and all of our

other humble offerings. They are definitely helping us accomplish our

goal of conscious union with You.

4

Concentrating on You, the Most Pure, our character is purified; we are

transformed from unconscious, inconsiderate, devilish, brutes, to kind,

loving, understanding, and forgiving beings.

5

In the process of concentrating on You, reclaiming our vision,

and returning to Divine Consciousness, comes the realization

that "Others" or "Them" are really reflections of Supreme

Being, just as we are. "They" are "Us."

6

As a result of experiencing the inner joy and contentment, the

fulfillment of You, by concentrating on You, we are regaining

our original conscious union with You, the only reality.

7

We concentrate on You as Unchanging, the Source of all,

inauspiciousness and auspiciousness. The more we know

You, through research, observation, and experience, the

more we are at peace with every sentient being.

8

We concentrate on You as the Highest, Best, and Most Exquisite

and powerful of all tastes. Purification of our consciousness back to

You is an ever better peace. This empowers us to more easily release

the lower, enslaving taste and desire for insatiable sense gratification,

Maya. Thank You for showing us how to concentrate on You

9

We concentrate on You as our Original Prime Cause of all causes,

the Unbounded One who pervades and transcends all cultures

and species of life. While concentrating on You through our

prayers, studies, and nonviolent sacrifices, we develop attachment

to You.
