Jnana Yoga 10
Praise and Thanksgiving
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayathri.

1
Remembering You is our primary tool
for cleansing our consciousness, awareness,
and intellect from the sinful grasp of lust.
To the degree we are free of Lust, we are free
from the oppression and terror of Maya,
and we are developing into our best
intelligence.
2
Our spiritual development is powered
by our ability to remember You. We do
this by dovetailing our life activities in a
way that, in the final analysis, we are
thinking of You.
3
Remembering You, we raise ourselves by
ourselves from the wretchedness of the
material world. Gradually we restore
ourselves to our original position of
Everlasting, Omnipresent Peace, here,
in this moment.
4
We know from our personal research,
observation and experience, that our help
comes from remembering You. We do
this by praising You, thanking You,
offering everything to You, in all
circumstances, and meditating on You.

5
Offering praise and thanksgiving to
You is Surrendering to You. Surrendering
to You is serving You. Chanting Your Holy
Names and Glories is speaking and hearing
about You. Thus, hearing, chanting, serving,
and remembering You, we associate with
You. In this way, and by Your Grace, we
attain brief experiences of Your
magnificence.
6
The art and science of remembering You
through praising and thanking You is
enhanced by consciously surrendering all
to You. All that we think feel, will, say,
and do, we surrender to You. The purpose
of this spiritual practice is to bring us ever
closer to conscious union with You.

7
Thank You for revealing to us this ancient
method of purifying our consciousness,
awareness and intellect by always praising
and thanking You.
8
By praising and thanking You constantly
we edify, quiet, as well as purify our
consciousness, awareness, and intelligence.
This empowers our consciousness to entertain
better, more edifying thoughts, clarify and
sharpen our awareness, purify and further
enlighten our intelligence.
9
You are beyond characterless and
character, personality and impersonality.
All life has its origin and dissolution in You,
the Supreme Pure, Metaphysical
One. By Your grace and mercy we are
able to offer these humble words of praise
and thanksgiving to You; by doing so, we
purify and enrich our own character.
10
While supporting and sustaining all attributes
of reality, You pervade and transcend substance
and space. Thank You for helping us remember
to praise and thank You through all stages and
levels of our consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence
11
We associate with You through constant
remembrance of You. We remember You
by praising and thanking You, offering all to
You, and by chanting Your Holy Names.
12
Beyond negative and positive, You are the
Source of the Supreme Energy, the Spiritual
Force which we experience and transmit
internally and externally. Some know it as
Aura or Electro Magnetic field.
13
By rekindling our love for You through
this science of Jnana Yoga, we awaken to
our dormant love for You. As this
happens, our love for all living entities
is aroused.
14
All life is One in You and You are the One
in all life. Like a child offering the vastness
of the Galaxies a very small leaf or a few
drops of water, we offer You our humble
praise and thanksgiving with all of the
love and respect we have at this moment.
15
You are our Divine Intelligence, known as
God in most of the western world. Our most
righteous Inner and External Teacher,
Leader, Guide, and Most Dear Friend, You
are Eternal, Omnipresent, Omniscient, and
Omnipotent, the Ever-Well Wisher of all.
16
Our primary business is to remember You by
every means we have. The more we are able
to do this, the better we are able to transcend
the so-called stressings and blessings of the
material world. They are both temporary,
therefore unreal and not worth striving
against or for. Remembering You, the
eternal, we transcend all illusions and
experience Your ever present tranquil
bliss.

17
Aum is Your Primordial, Primeval Word.
It arises out of the Pure, Divine intelligence
of No-thingness.
18
This No-Thingness is the most subtle, beyond
preons, point particles. It is conceived of as
sub-components of quarks and leptons.
You, within and beyond prions, are the Most
intelligent and subtlest of all. Therefore, You
are greater than No-thing.
