Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayathri.
1
We associate with You as the Source
of mother, father, family, friends, all
ancestors, children, descendants, and
all sentient beings, visible and
invisible.
2
All we think, feel, will, say, and do,
we are submitting to you, associating
with You. In this manner, our
consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence, are aligning with You.
This way, we are awakening to ever
greater conscious union with You.
3
We are remembering You through this
spiritual practice of associating with You.
This practice of awakening to conscious
union with You has been passed down
from You to us through ancient Nile
Valley and Indus Valley Civilizations, and
our own meditation. These sources are
sprinkled throughout Our Word in
audio, video, images, pictures, words,
and photographs.
4
This spiritual practice of associating
with You consists of calling out a Holy
Name of Yours that is most attractive to
us. Partnered with that is offering
Divinely Centered Praise and
Thanksgiving, Prayer, Study, Sacrifice,
Service; Right Association, and
Meditation to You.
5
All that we do is centered consciously in
You.This Association with You begins
with always thinking of You. This is why
all our praise and thanksgiving, all we
think, feel, will, say, and do is done to
help us never forget and always
remember You.
6
Associating with You, we are
becoming more intelligent, and adept at
recognizing and following our ever
better reason and common sense.
Moreover, we are knowing, and
experiencing the beauty of being
detached from the Material World
while becoming more involved here
in the Spiritual World.
7
Here in the Spiritual World, we are
free from ignorance of Self. We are
increasingly satisfied, and at Peace,
in the midst of, yet separated from,
the worlds of illusion.
8
To the casual observer, we might seem to
be in the world, and we are, but we are
not of it; we seem to be in Maya, yet we
are learning how to be detached,
transcending It constantly.
9
By always associating with You, we can
be in the world but not of it. Utilizing the
spiritual practice of associating with You,
we separate from Maya and continue
rising into Your Eternal Omnipresence.
10
Armed with the sword of detachment and
the rod of discrimination, we are ever
attached to You, while the worlds of
illusion move pass us, like clouds moving
below the Sun.
11
We know, based on our research,
observation and experience, we are
not just a material body with a soul
trying to have a spiritual experience.
12
We are Eternal Spirit, within and
beyond the material body; the Power
which animates this material body;
surrounding, spread through, perceived
throughout and transcending the
material body, this we are.
13
We are like the Sun in the sky and the
material worlds are like the clouds below.
We do not move. The material worlds move,
are in constant flux, like the changing clouds
below.
14
Our objective is to return to conscious
Union with You, the Supreme Unity in all
the diversity of life. Submission of all to
You is our way of associating with You
and gradually uniting consciously with
again.
15
Associating with You, we are
transcending cause and effect, Karma,
the fluctuating diversities of the material
world. Gradually, we are reawakening to
the True Self, our Eternal Life in conscious
Union with You.
16
Associating with You does bring us back
into union with You, our Divine Nature.
We know this as a result of scrutinizing,
very objectively, our research, observation,
experience and reflection.
17
We as Soul, do not experience birth,
old-age, disease and death. That is
of the material body. The more we
associate with You and are purified,
the more we transcend bodily
designations and live in conscious
spiritual union with You.
18
We, the living entity extending throughout
the body and beyond, are the Soul, in
quality one with You. The goal of our life
is to discontinue reaping and sowing in
Maya, and reawaken to our Freedom
and Bliss-filled life of conscious union
with You.
