Meditation 1
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.
1
We remember You by meditating on
You: We meditate on Your Names, we
meditate on You as Omnipresent,
Omniscient, and Omnipotent. We also
meditate on You as the Ultimate Knower
of knowing, the Knower of space, the
blank, and we meditate on You as the last
Knower of Silence. This is our Raja Yoga.
2
Peace of mind and its control are
experienced by fixing the consciousness,
awareness and intelligence on You.
This can be done by the spiritual practice
of prayer, study, nonviolent sacrifice and
service to You, along with right association,
and meditation on You.

At the Sixth Chakra, Looking from the Third Eye, also known
as the Pineal gland, place the tip of the tongue as far back on
the roof of your mouth as possible, in the vicinity below the Pineal
Gland, and hold it there as long as comfortable. Swallow or move
the tongue if necessary but put it back in place, as far back on the
roof of the mouth as comfortable, immediately.
4
(1) While the tip of the tongue is in place as far back on the roof of the
mouth as comfortable, (2) be aware of the breathing, (3) be aware of the
imageless infinity of Space, and (4) be aware of the "Sound" of
Silence. We are aware of four things here. Lastly, we are and are
aware of Awareness Itself. This practice gets easier, more pleasant
and rewarding, with practice. Gradually, the consciousness is free
from thoughts and enjoys Its natural fulfillment and blissful
tranquillity.
5
Meditating from the Sixth Chakra with the tongue as far back
on the roof or palate of the mouth as possible and comfortable,
being aware of Silence, Space, and the body breathing, is our
meditation practice. Very few, if any thoughts can intrude into
our consciousness. We will experience fewer and fewer thoughts
and ever deeper and more rejuvenating levels of Ecstatic,
Tranquility.
6
Constant practice of this meditation technique will lead
to the stillness that enables us to experience and to know,
increasingly, the Omnipresence of our own Supreme Being.
Gradually, we will experience, in the light of our research
observation, and practice, the fact that we are the Eternal,
Pure Intelligence that pervades and transcends
consciousness, awareness, and lower intelligence.
7
The more we are meditate on You, the more we are in alignment with You.
Gradually, we are in greater harmony with the Spirit of our most Righteous
Ancestors. Thus, the better we are able to live in harmony and peace with
our environment. We meditate on You as the One, The Supreme, Eternal,
Transpersonal Being, the Source of all courage, beauty, creativity, patience,
and endurance,
8
We align with You by meditating on You as Silence and Imageless space,
while our tongue is at the roof of the back of our mouth, and while we
are aware of the breath our body is breathing. We meditate on You as the
Eternal Light shining on all of "This" and as the Eternal Light of Divine
Intelligence shining on Itself.
9
We meditate on You as Divine Reality, Supernatural Being, the Primeval Energy,
the Life Force, the Prana, Ultimate, Pure Consciousness and Awareness. As
far as our research, observation and experience has revealed, there is no truth
Greater than You. Thank You for helping us come back to You, the Greatest
Truth, through this spiritual practice of meditating on You.
10
We meditate on You as that Ultimate Awareness pervading and transcending body, mind,
intelligence, and ego. We mediate on You, from the Sixth Chakra by focusing on the
imageless Supreme Space and the "Sound" of Silence.
11
Always thinking of You and meditating on is are our best means of attaining You.
You are our Greatest Benefit, our Best End. Thank You for helping us to be aware of
Your Loving Presence, in this moment.

Avadhuta Gita of Dattatreya
" Understand that the Self is the continuous Being, The One within all, without any
division. The "I" is both the subject and the supreme object of meditation; How can
you see two in That which is One?"
Prathamodhyayah
Chapter 1, Verse 12
13
As our consciousness becomes more purified by meditating on You as the Most
Subtle Supreme Truth, we gradually release all names and forms and meditate
on You as Awareness of Infinite, imageless Space, Awareness of the "Sound"
of the Silence of Being, the "Sound" of the Self, and Awareness of Awareness.
14
We continue to keep our "mind" open for greater truths, and meditate on You as
Supreme Truth, the Awareness containing, pervading and transcending the
"Nothing" that is here before during and after the creation, maintenance and
destruction of the Cosmic Manifestations.
15
We think of You, we concentrate on You, we meditate on You as the One from whom vast
and variegated creations, are engendered, maintained, and annihilated; yet, You always
remain the same, the Supreme Absolute, Changeless One, within and beyond change,
and all other dualities.
16
It is by thinking of You constantly that we purify our consciousness and are able to
meditate on You, behind the eyes from the Third Eye, as the Source of Space and
Silence. We meditate on You as the Be All and End All of life, the Moral Absolute,
the Source of all Holiness and strength. Knowing about of You, always thinking of
You, and meditating on You, are our primary means of attaining You.
17
We meditate on You as the all pervasive One who pervades and transcends all parts of
speech, designations, and descriptions. We meditate on You as the Source of the upper
soul, lower soul, I and I, Atma and Param Atma.
18
Meditating on You is our primary method of purifying our Pineal Gland, the seat of
consciousness, and the path to the Seventh Seal, the Gateway to Your Infinite Awareness.
Thus, we purify and raise our awareness of Awareness to ever greater levels of Awareness.
"Meditation is not something that should be done in a particular position at a particular
time. It is an awareness and an attitude that must persist throughout the day."
