Prayer/Study/Sacrifice 5
Thank You Aum. Thank You Ra. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Ra. Thank You Gayatri.
Aum Tat Sat. Aum Ra. 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.
