Thinking of You 15

Thank You Aum. Thank You Gye Nyame.

Thank You Aum. Thank You Gayatri.

1

Thank You for humbling us through Maya, and encouraging

us to always think of You. We concentrate on You as our

Supreme Unity within, encompassing, and beyond all

dualities and diversities, including Hell and Heaven.

2

Concentration on You keeps us out of Maya's Hell. Gradually,

we can see and comprehend how You, the Supreme Unity within

all, can be in and beyond all of the vast and variegated diversities of life.  

3

We concentrate on this Self, You, as the Source of the Confidence,

Freedom, Justice, Equality, Prosperity, Security, and Peace that

is already within us. This is Enlightenment. This is Reunion with

You, awakening out of Maya. 

4

Concentrating on You is the engine that powers our spiritual

resuscitation. Always concentrating on You is our Service to

You, the mission at the center of our spiritual practice is

absorption in You. We are doing this by concentrating on You.

5

This Supreme Spiritual association, concentrating on

You, purifies stabilizes and expands us at all levels

of consciousness and awareness. 

6

Thank You for accepting our humble attempts to praise and

thank You with these irregularly composed verses of limited

vocabulary and knowledge. Nevertheless, concentrating on

You in this way is making our way brighter and our burden

lighter. Thank You for inspiring us to compose hymns and

thanksgiving in honor of You, as an offering to You.

7

Seeing and serving You in all helps us concentrate on You. This

practice awakens and emancipates us from slavery to the

various degrees of lust, greed, and anger, that keep us in

Maya. The real battle, the battle of battles, is to master our

our consciousness and rise out of Maya. We can do this by

always concentrating on You.

8

We concentrate onf You as the Infinite, Pure Intelligence and

Awareness, pervading, transcending, and witnessing the

comings and goings of all manifestations. You are beyond all

names, forms, creations, distractions, destructions, and

constructions.  

9

We concentrate on You as the One who is eternally free from

creation, maintenance and annihilation. Surrendering

to You, and You alone, means: All that we think, feel, will,

say, and do, is done as an offering to You.
