Meditation 18

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

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.

1

We meditate on You, Ever-Present, Supreme Reality of all.

You pervade and transcend the five material elements: Earth,

water, fire, air, and ether. Thank You for teaching us how to

uncover our honor, courage, fitness, and love for all sentient

beings by meditating on You.

2

We meditate on You as within and beyond the moving and

immovable. We meditate on You as the Undistractable,

Supreme Awareness. This meditation practice cleanses our

consciousness and brings us back into Your likeness

again.

3

We meditate on You as the One, Omnipresent,

Divinity within all, Pure Intelligence, in and beyond

its vast and variegated costumes, disguises, and levels

of consciousness and awareness. Thank You for helping

us to know, from research, observation, experience, and

reflection, the importance of meditating on You.

4

We meditate on You as Pure, Immaculate Awareness, within and beyond Consciousness,

that from whom all is born. Beyond all dualities such as

form and formlessness, life and death, duality and non-

duality. You are smaller than the smallest and bigger

than the biggest, simultaneously. 

5

We meditate on You as the Most Pure Witness of all

consciousness our original healthy, uncontaminated

consciousness. The more we associate with You through our

spiritual practice, the healthier, quiet and pure, free from

thoughts, is our consciousness. We meditate on this.

6

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

as the source of the changeless peace which is always here.

Thank You for helping us to understand how to think of You,

concentrate on You, and meditate on You.

7

The more our consciousness is cleansed by meditating on You,

the more we are in harmony with You and open to Your

Grace and Mercy. We are empowered by Your Grace to

integrate this spiritual practice of always thinking of You

into meditating on You while we engage in mundane

activities. 

8

Real freedom is eternal, full of unlimited knowledge and

bliss. This is attained by meditating on You. Meditating on You

is enhanced by chanting Your Holy Names.

This helps us become more devoted to You, worshiping

You and surrendering all to You with unselfish love.

9

We meditate on You as the Supreme, Eternal, Unchanging,

Immovable, Ultimate Witness, within and beyond Silence, Space,

the Sound of space, and beyond the most subtle blue Blackness of

Space which can be experienced just before the light of dawn. We

meditate on You as the Premier Witness of this awareness and of all

awareness.  

10

We meditate on You as the Unmovable, Unchangable Power that

moves the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Gravity. Thank You

for encouraging us to pray, study the scriptures and to

meditate on You.

11

We meditate on You as the Supreme Witness, within and beyond

all concepts and understanding of nature. We meditate on You as

within and beyond all levels of consciousness, changing and

unchanging. 

12

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

You as the invisible Power which pervades, transcends, and

can positively transform all beings who sincerely strive to

become conscious of You.

13

We think of You as the Supreme Intelligence of the universe.

You are the Light From Above and Its Source. We thank You

for teaching us how to research, keep an open mind, think critically,

evaluate, extend meaning, come to our own unbiased conclusions,

and to meditate ever better.

14

We meditate on You as the Most Near, the Eye of all eyes, and

the Ear of all ears. We think of You as the Source of

all sounds, the incomparable Power of the

multidimensional universes. Truly, we meditate on You

as the Divine Source that is powering all Sentient Beings

throughout the cosmic manifestations. 

15

This way back here to You is rooted in various means of

thinking of You: meditating on You, Calling out Your Names,

Submitting all to You, witnessing the Silence, and witnessing

witnessing, awareness of awareness ad infinitum.
