Offering 15

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

Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gayatri.

1

We offer to You as our Supreme being, 

the Source of our Ancestors, Gods and 

DemiGods. It is You, the Most Subtle

  One, who pervades and

transcends all DNA; never born and 

never dies.

2

The real solution to our problems lie in 

our remembering and experiencing You 

as we go about our mundane existence.

We do this by chanting Your Names and

 offering You everything. 

3

If to us You have no Name, then we

 can offer to You as Silence and Space, 

 or as the Source of our very own Self. 

 When all is said and done, We as One

 are all that's left.

4

We offer to You as our Most Intelligent 

Source of all creativity and power. You, 

are the Source of the power that attracts 

and drives thoughts into consciousness

for creativity, construction, 

maintenance, or destruction.

5

We offer to You as the Source of the 

power of concentration that transforms 

thoughts into ideas and things. We also 

offer to You as the Intelligence which

 shows us how to be still, and know that 

You are God. 

6

Knowing You are our God living quietly

within us, and knowing how to do our best

 but letting You abide, helps us to live an

increasingly simpler, complete, and

 fulfilled life.

7

We think it is absolutely true that You have

no partners nor co-equals in purity, power,

or intelligence. No one other than You can

associate with You on Your level, Your reign

is Supreme.

8

Always offering to You and remembering 

You allows us to associate with You on our

 level, be purified, and awakened back to 

our original level of Divinity.  This is 

union with You.  

9

This spiritual practice of offering

 to You and remembering You is

awakening our long, almost forgotten 

memory and intelligence.  Gradually,

 by chanting Your Holy Names and 

offering You everything, we are 

   awakening and experiencing returning

 to our original, natural state of

 Infinite, Imperturbable Peace.

10

These humble offerings called Our Word

are our way of redeeming, and lifting 

our self by our Self. In this way, we are

 restoring our Divine relationship with

 You, while helping others in, what we

     consider, the best possible way.

11

Thank You for accepting our homage and

 our honest attempts at redeeming

ourselves, and restoring our Divine

relationship with You, with these

humble offerings of praise and

thanksgiving.

12

To the degree we are purifying and 

restoring our Divine relationship with

 You, we very naturally are shuning 

evil, doing  good, and purifying our 

consciousness, awareness, and 

intelligence.

13

When we are at the level of

purification articulated above 

(paragraph twelve), we see You and 

 serve You in others and see and serve

 others in You. Slowly, we are

 experiencing,  there is no other.  There 

is only You.

14

Calling out Your name and offering You

everything helps us remember:  You are

    the only reality.  Anything else is illusion.

It does not exist, does not endure.  This 

understanding and experience clears us

 as individuals and organizations of small

unedifying village gossip, and keeps us 

  evermore concentrated in remembering

 You.

15

We know You are called by many different

names. Often this is because of Your vast

and variegated attributes, and various

 languages spoken. Nonetheless, like 

 space, You are the same everywhere.

16

      Offering all to You and calling out Your 

Names is our way of remembering You 

and associating with You. To us, this is 

the basis of self-improvement and 

community-improvement because it

 helps us associate with You the Most  

Pure and Infinitely Intelligent One.

17

  We offer to You as the One Reality 

within and beyond kinetic and potential

 energy.  Inactive and active and all 

other dualities are within You, and You 

saturate them. Yet, You cannot be 

contained by any, or all, of them 

together. 

18

 You are witnessing Space and Silence. 

 Things change in Space.  Sounds can

 obscure our ability to "Hear" Silence.  

However, You, the Changeless One,  

pervade and transcend, Sound, 

Silence, Space, Emptiness, the Triple

 Shining Brightness, and Blackness 

of Space, and all dualities.  All else

 is illusion; we offer to You as the only

 Reality.
