Practice 8

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayathri.

1

We think of You, we concentrate on You, we meditate on

You as the Supreme Spirit, within and beyond the ancestors,

mediums, gods, ghosts, phantoms, and spooks.

2

By association with You, the Most Disciplined, beyond he,

she, and it, we continue to reawaken to our eternal position of

infinite bliss and comprehension. Thank You for showing us

how to remember You, seeing You alone in all sentient beings.

3

By surrendering all to You, the Source of all centeredness,

balance, order, harmony, righteous, love, patience, and peace,

we associate with You. We think of You, we concentrate on

You, we meditate on You as all pervasive Supreme Spirit,

Energy, or Force.

4

Associating with You our consciousness is cleansed

of anger, lust, and greed, the nonsense ego which identifies with

that which is diametrically opposed to the virtues mentioned

above. 

5

Surrendering all to You brings us back to that which is

eternal, that which truly exists, that which we really are, our

own Savior, You. Thank You for showing us how to

remember You in all we do.

6

Surrender to You means we forgo temporary sense

gratification, no matter how dear, for the sake of keeping

You, who are always closer than the air our body breathes,

increasingly near. This helps us become ever stronger and

more disciplined in our patience and determination to

reawaken to You, our Supreme Being.

7

May we forever keep our minds fixed on You by surrendering

all to You. By this means, the lower "self" is disciplined by

association with the highest "Self."

8

As the lower self is disciplined, it disciplines the intellect, this

disciplines the mind. The disciplined mind better disciplines

the body. 

9

We think of You as the Supreme Intelligence, the One beyond

all genders, at the foundation of the intelligence of all. By

persevering in surrendering to You, we develop our natural

discernment, greater equanimity, and sincere humility.

Thank You for showing us a way to the Supreme Knowledge,

the Knowledge of Self, as our own Supreme Spirit.

10

When all we think, feel, will and do is surrendered to You, our

consciousness is purified and freed from slavery to

attachments. Thus, our consciousness is cleansed of hatreds

and desires, and reinvigorated with with its natural love,

unselfishness, and desirelessness.

11

Always thinking of You has proven to be the surrender

that purifies our Pineal Gland and our consciousness. Slowly,

we are experiencing a decrease, a fading away of the

brigands, anger, envy, and covetousness, from our

consciousness.

12

Those brigands are being gradually replaced with our

natural state of compassion, goodwill, and charity for all.

Thank You for helping us unfold and experience our own

quintessential nature as Eternal Spirit, the Everlasting

Witness of here, now, this moment.

13

The greater our understanding, appreciation and acceptance

of You the greater our understanding, appreciation, and

acceptance of others. It all depends on purification of

consciousness.

14

You are in and beyond every particle, and every vibration,

and every particle, every vibration is within in You. However,

we do not worship the particle, nor do we worship the vibration;

we worship You alone; we do this through constant remembrance

of You.  

15

Praise to You, Thanksgiving to You, and Glorification of

You. Application of this as a Mantra purifies the Pineal

Gland and consciousness. Thank You for teaching us how to

think carefully, analytically, critically, and independently.

16

We think of You as the One Supreme Intelligence who

pervades and transcends the light and darkness, and all

other dualities. The more the Pineal Gland is purified by

always thinking of You, we experience the fact that You are

the Supreme Witness, within and beyond the universe. Truly,

the universe is within You, and You contain it, but it cannot

contain all of You, although You contain all of it.

17

Surrendering to You, all our praise and thanksgiving, prayer,

study, sacrifice, service, right association, and meditation, is

our ancient method of cleaning the Pineal gland.

18

As we clean or decalcify the Pineal Gland, primarily by

always thinking of You, the consciousness is cleansed and we

experience You. We think of You as the foundation of all

consciousness, the Supreme Self of all Selves.
