You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.
1
We have heard, we understand, and we
have some experience of Your
Omnipresence. In this light, we think
of You as pervading all cultures,
nationalities, and every species of life.
2
This spiritual practice of filling the
consciousness with thoughts of You
is purifying our intelligence and
helping us see through and transcend
the superficial differences.
3
You are the Indivisible, Undifferentiated,
Supreme Absolute. Wherever we have
gone, You are here. On this basis, and
according to what we have heard
through Disciplic Succession, there
is no where, where You are not.
4
Words such as I, You, Supreme Being,
God, Allah, Brahman, Gye Nyame,
and Thou, are some of the sorts of
signposts pointing toward Your
Indescribable Infinity.
5
You are within and beyond all
directions. Moreover, we have heard
and understand that You are within
and beyond all names.
6
Experiencing a modicum of the
transcendental beauty and fulfillment
of hearing of You, we are more carefully
screening unedifying, mundane, thoughts
from entering our consciousness.
7
We are screening out unholy thoughts
and purifying our consciousness,
awareness, and intelligence by hearing
evermore of Your glories.
8
We are hearing of You from Holy
Books, Holy Videos, CDs, Saints,
and Sages, through Disciplic
Succession, and our practice of
meditation on You.
9
Hearing of You, we are reawakening.
Gradually, we are experiencing Your
Eternal Omnipresence, our Divine
Source.
10
We hear about You, we think about You,
and we meditate on You as the Light of
Divine Intelligence. You are shining on,
and within, consciousness, awareness,
and lower intelligence.
11
Your Light of Divine Intelligence, always
shining, is always free from any sort of
bodily, mental, intellectual, egoistic
designation, or identification.
12
We have heard, and have small,
unforgettable, experiences of Your
Light of Divine Intelligence. It is just
Pure Knowingness, and beyond All
Understanding; shining on and in,
our consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence, equally.
13
We benefit from the light of Your Divine
Intelligence according to the purity
of our intelligence. Our intelligence is
purified the more we associate with
You through our spiritual practice.
14
Thank You for revealing this well-worn
path of devotional service to You; Bhakti.
We have no reality other than You.
All else is illusion.
15
You are our Everything. Always hearing
of You, thinking of You, and remembering
You is our solution, our way of awakening
back to conscious union with You, our
Supreme Being.
16
You are our Most Unconditional Love,
the One Supreme Power of all.
Indescribable, beyond material
and spiritual, our humble
glorification is to You and You alone.
Thank You for showing us how to be
devoted to You and You only.
17
Pure Energy, our Indestructible,
Unalterable One, the most important
thing we are doing is hearing about
You and remembering You. This
spiritual Practice is aligning us
completely with You.
18
Thank You for helping us to hear
about You and remember You; this way,
we are reawakening our love and
longing for You alone. Through love
for you, we are awakening our love
for all.
