Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gayatri.
1
From Your Omnipresent "Place"
of witnessing Space, and the Triple
Shining Blackness of Space is seen
as contained in the Light of Your
Infinite Spacelessness of Being.
2
We experience the fact that You,
our Supreme Being, are the Eternal
Monarch of all. Within and beyond
all seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing
and touching, You are pervading and
transcending the Cosmic
Manifestations, Sound, Silence and
Space.
3
We offer to You as the Supreme
Source and Witness of all states of
consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence. You are that
indescribable, Vibratory Bliss
beyond Knower, Knowledge,
Knowing, and Known.
4
The more we offer to You, and thereby
associate with You, the stronger we are
spiritually to resist the commands and
demands of the lust controlled lower self.
5
The real battle, Jihad, is within our
own consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence. It is the tug of war
between our Lust controlled Lower
Self, and our Love controlled Higher
Self.
6
The more we associate with you, by
offering to You and remembering You,
the more we are strong enough to be
victorious over the ignorance of the
Lower Self. This is the way we resist
and overcome the slavery of Maya.
7
Those worlds, of birth, old-age, disease,
death, and rebirth, are places of more
or less the suffering of Maya. We fall
into, and remain in Maya due to our
ignorance of Self.
8
Maya can be more or less hell, cold or
hot, regardless of our level of material
existence. Those worlds of Maya are
places of various degrees of suffering.
9
The suffering of Maya can be physical
and/or spiritual. Whether we are
awake or in dreams, Maya can
torment us. We offer to You,
remember You, associate with You,
and transcend Maya.
10
For Justice, refuge, strength,
fulfillment, contentment, freedom from
Karma, Maya, and the realization of
Everlasting, Omnipresent Peace, we offer
all we think, feel, will, say, and do,
to You alone.
11
The Source of "I" and of all energy,
intelligence, and creativity, is You. To
deny Your existence would be to deny
our own existence; an impossibility.
12
We are holding fast to You by increasing
our association with You. We are doing
this by calling Your Name, offering You
everything, hearing about You, visiting
the Holy, associating with those who
are remembering You, praising and
thanking You, and performing worship
of You in the best of possible ways;
always thinking of You.
13
Always thinking of You is Aligning our
consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence with You constantly. This
empowers us to evermore detach
from the temporary worlds of illusion
and attach to You, the Eternal Source
of our reality.
14
Surely, expanding and deepening our
intelligence is a consequence of aligning
with Your Omniscience. This also
strengthens our ability to use our rod
of discrimination and our sword of
detachment.
15
Remembering You, we are increasingly
exposed to modicums of Your Infinite
Intelligence. In this light, we better
distinguish the real from the unreal,
recognizing and detaching from that
which does not endure, the unreal,
and more firmly attaching to You,
the only Reality.
16
You are the Eternal, Deep, here, now,
the Undisturbable, Pure, Brilliant
Light of our consciousness, awareness,
and intelligence. Without Hu, they
would not know what to do: How to
be conscious of what, what to be aware
of and why, and what to be intelligent
about.
17
Analyzing the memory of the Oneness
of our brief experience with You, we
are beginning to see that You are, at
least, the Undisturbable, Tranquil,
Vibratory Magnificence, beyond
Knower, Knowledge, Known, and
Knowing.
18
As we continue to engage in offering
all to You, and remembering You, we
are experiencing increasingly, the
Tranquil Bliss of Eternal Silence and
the emptiness of everything, except You,
Hu even pervades and transcends the
Emptiness.
