Right Association 8

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

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

1

We believe You pervade and outshine 

all colors, tribes, races, creeds, 

nationalities, species, and any other 

temporary,  illusory designations.

2

This spiritual practice of remembering 

You sobers us while bringing us forth by 

night and day into the reality of Your 

Everlasting, Omnipresence. 

3

We know You as our infinitely unshakable

center, our unity within and beyond the

vast and variegated diversities of life.

4

All sentient beings are connected with You.

Like a necklace of various kinds of beads

are strung on an almost invisible thread,

all beings are connected with and by You. 

5

We know You as smaller than the most subtle

space between vibratory phenomena. That

space, called No-thing, is pervaded and

transcended by You.

6

    We associate with You and cast off ignorance;

 as we do, we begin seeing the Self as the

Knower of the body, consciousness, and 

awareness.  This Knower is also known as

 the Soul, the Light of Divine Intelligence,

 permeating and transcending the body,

consciousness, and awareness.  

7

You, we gradually comprehend, are the

 Self or Divine Intelligence, pervading 

and transcending all bodies. 

 Nevertheless, within and  above all, 

You are Kundalini, beyond Knower, 

Knowledge, and Known.

8

You are the Eternal Omnipresent, 

Omniscient, Omnipotence, Kundalini, 

the power Source, from which all 

manifestations emanate.  Nonetheless, 

Your radiant, spiritual effulgence is

 beyond  knower, knowledge, and known. 

9

All comes from You and returns

 to Your Omnipresence. Yet, You never 

change. You are within changes, but

 they can never enter or alter You.

10

We remember You as the foundation,

pervading and going beyond 

consciousness, thoughts, awareness, 

and intelligence. 

11

What is commonly called the mind is

 actually thoughts inside of  

consciousness.  Your association is a

 major part of our Spiritual practice that 

awakens our discernment, allowing us to 

see this.

 12

  To the degree our consciousness, 

awareness, and intelligence are

 focused and aligned, associated with 

 You, the  greater our ability to control 

 the kind of thoughts allowed into our

  consciousness and  awareness.

13

The more Consciousness, Awareness

 and Intelligence associate with You the

 more intelligent we become. We can

 better decide which thoughts we should

 dismiss or concentrate on to help us 

endlessly unite consciously with You.

14

Various spiritual practices are offered

 throughout Our Word to help us

 associate with You.  These practices 

gradually awaken us to the experience

 of union with You.

15

 Tractor Trailer Drivers use various gears

 according to the terrain in which they 

are driving.  Similarly, we are using

 various Yoga practices:  Mantra Yoga, 

breathing techniques, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti 

Yoga, Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga, Prayer, 

Study, Sacrifice, Service, and Right 

Association, according to the situation

 in which we find ourselves.  In this way, 

we are always, to some degree,  in 

constant association with You.

16

Slowly, we are experiencing the fact that 

it is getting easier to control thoughts 

attempting to enter our consciousness 

  and awareness.  The more we engage in 

these Yoga practices of associating with 

You, the more our consciousness, 

awareness, and intelligence are still, 

quiet, and aligned with You. 

17

Thank You for revealing to us these Yoga

 practices.  They are surely keeping 

divisive, unedifying, thoughts out of our

 consciousness and awareness. 

 Simultaneously, they are awakening us

 to Your Loving Omnipresence.

18

Always associating with You is the power

 which helps us control our consciousness

 and awareness, by aligning them with You.

This is truly revolutionary, a 

transformation of our consciousness,

awareness, and intelligence from material to

spiritual, from impure to pure, from 

suffering to bliss.
