Prayer/Study/Sacrifice 5
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.
Aum Tat Sat. Namo Namaha.
You are within and beyond the sun, moon, and the stars.
Thank You for teaching us how to be beyond thought,
and how to re-align with You. This is how we restore our
lower consciousness, consciously, to its former position of
Eternal, Divine Nature.
We think to be restored to our Original, Eternal, Divine
Nature is our greatest wealth. It is the best blessing we
can pass on to our children, the present, and future
generations.
As far as we are concerned, that which is eternal is the only
truly worthwhile pursuit for our thoughts, word, or deeds.
We think of You as the Eternal Loving Presence pervading
and beyond all Sentient Beings. Through spiritual practices
and Your Grace, You can be experienced as One's own
Supreme Reality.
The change in our value system entails seeing the self as
eternal spirit, consciousness, awareness, or energy, rather
than as temporary body, mind, intellect, or ego. We think of
You as Eternal, Supreme Being, Consciousness, Awareness,
or Energy. The Source of all that be.
We meditate on You as our Supreme Consciousness, Most
Righteous, the Greatest Witness, and the Most Subtle. You
are within and beyond controller and controlled, and any
species of life.
Surely, You, the Ultimate Goal of our assertions, are our
Moral Connection with Spirituality, and the One who gives
meaning and purpose to our life. All of our activities are an
humble offering to You.
We think of You as the Source of our conception of
Spirituality and Morality. Surely, You are the Power behind
and in front of our individual and social, spiritual and
moral uplift.
We think of You as Supreme Being of Infinite Consciousness
and Intelligence. Thank You for helping us realize that the
best learning comes when the students are educated based on
a foundation based on a knowledge and devotion to You,
Nature's Divinity.
One of the main avenues from which this knowledge and
devotion to You comes is the spiritual practice of prayer,
study, and nonviolent sacrifice to You. We think of You as the
Supreme Unity within the vast diversities of sentient
beings.
Our prayer is thanking, praising, and offering all to You.
Our study is centered in finding out the Truth about You.
Our nonviolent sacrifice consists of chanting Your Holy
Names. We meditate on You as the Witness of Silence,
Stillness, and the Witness Ad infinitum.
We think of You as the Unoriginate One, the Source and Pure
Intelligence within all. Thank You for teaching us knowledge
of Self and how to realize it through prayer, study, and
nonviolent sacrifice.
We think we suffer because of our own Karma. We continue
to suffer until we come back into consciousness of You.
We do this by engaging in a spiritual practice of purifying
our consciousness and seeing the self as energy or spirit.
The closer we return to consciousness with You, we are
able to give up nonsense illusory attractions and reach
exceedingly greater heights of culture and excellence. We are
able to do this by constant remembrance of You.
You, the One who pervades and transcends all feelings of all
Sentient Beings, are the foundation of all awareness
throughout the cosmic manifestation. You are Supernatural
in all respects. None can compare with Your Omnipresence,
Omnipotent, and Omniscience.
Thank You for teaching us how to string together prayer,
study, and sacrifice to You. This spiritual practice has
survived the ravages of the elements, and of time itself.
Moreover, it is proven to help us get ever closer to You.
"From where does this “I” arise? Seek for it within; it then
vanishes. This is the pursuit of wisdom. When the mind
unceasingly investigates its own nature, it transpires that
there is no such thing as mind. This is the direct path for all.
The mind is merely thoughts. Of all thoughts the thought “I”
is the root." – Ramana Maharshi
Moreover, we know from experience that this spiritual
practice of remembering You is definitely helping us return to
harmony with You. Through You, we are in harmony with
the universe and all within it.
“Inner silence is not just the absence of thoughts. No! Silence
is the blossoming of our indomitable inner will. Silence is our
inner wisdom-light.”
— Sri Chinmoy
Of all structural bodies, You are the keel. Of guides, You are
the Supreme Helsman, Pilot, Co-pilot and Steward. Thank
You for allowing us the intelligence to choose You and Your
Most Righteous Will, The Way of Peace.
You, the Most Holy and Wise, pervade and transcend the
oceans, the air, the original primeval sound, the most
subtle vibrations, and the Original "I" thought. Truly, You
are the Original and last Witness of the Original "I" thought.
We think of You as the Source and Perpetuator of our unity
and strength. Thank You for helping us to always remember
You through prayer, study, and nonviolent sacrifice. This
practice helps us associate with You, contemplate You and
unite with You evermore.
You are within and beyond the five temporary material
elements from which this body is made. All things and being,
including the illusory mind, intelligence, and ego are within
Your permanence, and Your permanence is within them.
While Your permanence is within all, simultaneously It is
eternal and infinitely beyond all. Thank You for helping us
regain the will and intelligence to wake up and help our self
in the best way. This is done by always thinking of You.
Always thinking of You cleanses our consciousness. As this
happens, our dormant will and intelligence shines through,
dispelling the clouds of ignorance. The greatest ignorance is
ignorance is ignorance of Self. Thank You for showing us
how to know and master "Me" by always thinking of You.
We think of You as Supreme Intelligence and enlightenment,
within and beyond the consciousness and the elements from
which the body is made. The five material elements from
which this body is made are: Earth, water, fire, air, and
either.
We think of You as the primordial energy, the Most Subtle
Life Force, the Prana. All things and beings are within You
yet, simultaneously, You are infinitely outside and
infinitely beyond their temporary nature.
"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."
– Annamalai Swami
All praise to You, Most Merciful and Completely Generous
One. Thank You for Your ceaseless mercy upon us. Thank
You for showing us that forgetfulness of You leaves us
ignorant and disunited with ourselves and others.
Thank You for showing us that remembering You leads us
forward to wisdom, enlightenment, unity, and familyhood
with all Sentient Beings. We think of You as the Be All in All,
the Totality of the Consciousness in and of all.
We think of You as the Most Pure. Thank You for showing us
the benefits of always thinking of You. Thinking of You, we
associate with You. Associating with You our consciousness is
purified. The more our consciousness is purified, the more
we can love You with all our body, mind, intellect, and might.
Thank You for encouraging us in our humble efforts to always
remember You. As a result of always studying about You,
remember You. As a result of always studying about You,
praying to You, and making our nonviolent sacrifices to You,
we are rising in boldness, and strength, taking responsibility
for our condition, the results of our own Karma
We think of You as the Source of "Others."
"They," whether "They" be persons, places, events, or
circumstances, are simply instruments, Your various
disguises, through which our Karma, our own doings,
has come back to us. We are reaping what we have done in
thoughts, words, and deeds.
"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer
light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into
crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after
Truth."– Mahatma Gandhi
You are The Supreme Teacher, Ruler and Most Righteous
Guide. Awakening our dormant love for You by always
studying about You is resuscitating us to our original Pure
Consciousness.
This resuscitation is uniting with our Self. We must unite
with our self before we can truly unite with anyone else. The
ultimate goal of all we think, feel, will, say and
do as an offering, a sacrifice, to You, is for conscious union
with You.
Isha Upanishad
Isha Upanishad
We think of You as the Supreme, Pure, Consciousness of all.
This is the Source of our virtue, vigor, compassion. Our
grace, mercy, patience, perseverance, zeal, and will are all
rooted and grounded in You.
Surrendering all to You is one of the means we are utilizing to
accomplish our end, which is union with You. We think of
You as our Eternal Friend, Companion, Guide, and Divine
Consciousness.
"Meditation is listening to the Divine within." – Edgar Cayce
You, Divine Providence, are the All Attractive One. When we
are constantly thinking of You we gradually realize our
original fulfillment and peace. When we associate with You
and are purified, we can love You with all our might. Then
we can love others as we love ourselves.
Awakening and experiencing the reality of You, we cease
running from one illusory thing to the next, thinking that the
next sense pleasure will surely bring freedom, justice, joy and
fulfillment. Thank You for showing us how to get out of
illusion and attain salvation.
As we remember You through our prayer, study, and
sacrifice, our consciousness is being purified, expanded, and
we are behaving in a more polite, even-tempered, and self-
controlled manner. Thank You for passing down a message
that is setting us free from desire and egoism.
When we meditate, we come to the Silence of Consciousness.
Sometimes we might have to use Mantras or breathing
techniques to clear thoughts out of consciousness and bring It
back back to the Crystal Silence of Pure Consciousness.
We meditate on You by being conscious of You as the Silence,
Stillness, and the Awareness of all. When we do this often,
we actually reenter our natural state of consciousness
which is increasingly calm, still, and silent, free from
thoughts.
We thank You for helping us to be fully aware of the arrival
a uninvited thought inside our consciousness. That one
thought, if not driven out and neutralized by thoughts of
You, will invite other uninvited thoughts, related and
unrelated.
Those related and unrelated thoughts will invite their
associates into our naturally pure and quiet consciousness.
Before long they will be a mob in our consciousness
wreaking havoc.
With the gathering of the mob, quickly, our otherwise pure
consciousness is polluted with random, uncontrolled, more or
less, unedifying, uncontrolled, thoughts. Always thinking of
You solves this very serious problem.
Remembering You purifies the consciousness by filling it with
thoughts of You, the Most Pure One. Gradually, our
consciousness is cleansed of the mob and returns to Its
original Purity and Peace.
The more we think of You, we are purified and strong enough
to resist, drive out, and keep out, any unedifying thoughts,
from our consciousness. We think of You as our Balm in
Gilead that makes the wounded whole, our Balm in Gilead
that heals the sin sick soul.
Jeremiah 8:22
Gradually, the more we fill our consciousness with
remembrance of You, we are able to experience nothing other
than the natural Peace, Stillness, and Awareness of our Pure
consciousness.
Deep within the Stillness of Pure Consciousness we
we experience our Eternal Pure, ever Blissful Existence. We
meditate on You as Silence, Existence, and the Omnipresent
Peace of Now.
We are at ever greater peace with ourselves and our worlds
by applying this spiritual practice of always remembering
You. Thank You for accepting our humble offerings of
praise and thanksgivings.
Thank You for revealing to us this method of remembering
You. Thus we are using our higher Self to raise our lower self
from a more or less savage and barbaric nature back to
Divine consciousness and You.
We think of You as predominating all genders and levels of
awareness. The closer we come back to You, the greater our
unity with each other. Gradually we experience the fact that
there is no other. There is only You, the Source of the
awareness of all.
The illusion does not exist. Having no independence, it has
no endurance, it comes and goes. You are the One True,
Pure Consciousness. The only reality, watching the comings
and goings of the temporary existence is You, all else is
illusion.
We meditate on You as Silence, Awareness, Eternal Stillness.
As we do this, thoughts dissolve out of our consciousness,
leaving it pure, inside of in eternal pure awareness or pure
consciousness. Thank You for helping us experience our
Divine Destiny.
We did not know we were such diseased sin-sick souls until we
realized we were not the material body. We are the eternal
soul, the knower of the body. Our struggle is to be completely
free of the material disease by always remembering You. This
is real freedom, spiritual freedom, consciously in union with
You again
Through meditation one discovers one’s own light. That light
we can call Soul, Self, Allah, Brahman, Gye Nyame, God,
Divinity, whatsoever word we choose, or we can "just remain
silent because it has no name. It is a a nameless experience,
tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent," but it gives
us "the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond
death."
– Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
This Pure Consciousness and the Awareness that observes It
is without objectification. It is knowing without thoughts,
Subject without object. When we are thinking of You, and
purifying our consciousness we are gradually returning to
our Infinity of Pure Awareness. Thank You for helping
us think of You and rise out of the wretchedness of
Maya.
