Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gayatri.

Please pardon some of our sources for their use of the masculine
gender when referring to You. We know from observation,
experience, and reflection, that You are beyond all genders. No
name, no form, no personality can fully contain nor describe You.
2
All is contained within You. You contain all, and You are never empty
nor full. You surround and are within and beyond all dualities and
personalities. Truly, You encompass and are within and beyond all.
3
We meditate on You as the Boundless Source of all that exists. In
You there is no East nor West, North or South, free nor slave, no left
nor right, no dualities. Thank You for showing us how to transcend
the worlds of duality by constant remembrance of You.
4
We meditate on You as the Original and inexhaustible Consciousness of
all, beyond past, present, and future. Please accept our obeisance. We offer
You our life, our so-called death, and every breath our body breathes.
5
We submit to You our hopes, our dreams our plans.
We offer You our nights our days our hopes, our praise. By
the grace of the process of submitting to You, we are being
purified, and are returning to our original, deathless state,
beyond the one and the many, and all other dualities.
6
Everything we have, we bring as an offering to You. Thank
You for allowing us the intelligence to offer everything to
You; doing so, we transcend ignorance, passion, and goodness
and put our real wealth, our offerings to You, where birth,
disease, old age, and death cannot touch it.
7
Through this purifying process of associating with You, our
old polluted understanding gives way to pure understanding,
channeled directly from You. From this perspective, we see
that we are individuals with dignity and self respect, at
different levels of consciousness.
8
We think of You as the Source of our Original Dignity and
Glory. We are all within You, the Premier Witness, the
Spiritual Foundation, the Supreme Intelligence and Eternal
Unity, pervading and transcending of all.
9
We abide by this understanding given from You in the light
of history, the revealed scriptures, and our prior experience.
In this light of reason we see that You are not an artificial
imposition on the mind or some phantasmagoria that we
cannot comprehend.
10
Meditating on You raises our consciousness and with it
our wit, wisdom, and intelligence. Most importantly, fixing
our consciousness on You in this way brings us back to You.
In the process of bringing us back to You, meditating on You
gives us a life of cultivation, fulfillment, security, freedom,
and Peace.
11
Your Peace is always with us. We think of You, we
concentrate on You, we meditate on You as our Greatest
Benefactor, the Source of our dignity and our glory.
12
We meditate on You as beyond all duality, such as I, Am and
others. We meditate on You as the Silence and the Awareness
of all. Thank You for showing us how to awaken out of the
slavery, humiliation, and frustration of Maya.
13
We think of You, we concentrate on You, we meditate on You
as Thisness, Amness, Silence. You, as well as we, are Energy,
forever free, Pure Nondual Awareness, free from all labels,
nationalities, and any other sorts of designations. All credit,
all glory, all praise belongs to You alone.
14
Your Peace is always with us. We meditate on You as the
unchanging, Supreme Reality at the base of all
awareness, the Source of all comprehension, all else being
temporary, an illusion. We know this through association
with You, and in the light of history, revealed scriptures, and
experience.
15
You are at the center of all we think, feel, will, say, and do. Our
world depends on Your guidance. We think of You, we concentrate
on You, we meditate on You, so that we can better follow Your Most
Righteous lead in all we think, feel, will, say, and do.
16
Our awareness is purified of all material contamination, by virtue of
Your association. As this happens, we are empowered evermore to hear
Your Most still, Compassionate, and Righteous Voice. It comes to us
from our Higher Consciousness down through our Pineal Gland, our
Third Eye.
17
Purification of consciousness and Third Eye vision empowers
us to love those who hate us, bless those who curse
us, do good to those who do us wrong, and pray for those who
despitefully use and persecute us. Thus, despite the odds
seemingly against us, we continue to rise, back to
You, ever more happy in our success.
18
We will not compromise our integrity. With an ever cleaner
consciousness, we know that it is not how others treat us that
determines how we will live. It is how we treat them that
determines what comes back to us. This is cause and effect,
The law of the universe, the law of Karma.
