Jnana Yoga 9
Praise and Thanksgiving
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayathri.

1
Thank You for teaching us how to purify
our Intelligence by praising and thanking
You in all circumstances. To the extent
our intelligence is purified, our
consciousness and awareness are cleansed
and purified.
2
When our awareness is purified it
has greater power to recognize and allow
edifying thoughts into the consciousness.
In its turn, purified consciousness repels
unedifying thoughts and allows edifying
thoughts, worthy of concentration, in for
our uplift and union You, Divine
Intelligence.
3
Within purified consciousness, awareness,
and intelligence, our thinking, feeling,
willing and doing are cleaner, quieter, in
harmony and balance, and more
conducive to our edification, liberation,
and salvation.

4
You are Supreme Righteousness, the
Uncreated, Self-existent being from whom
all energy emanates, in whom all energy
is maintained and within whom all energy
is returned. Thank You for helping us
comprehend our internal and external
relationship with energy and You.
5
Thank You for assisting us in our quest for
Righteousness. The more our consciousness
is purified by fixing it on You, the more we
think right, feel right, will right, and do right.
We see and comprehend that Righteous is
our Original Nature.
6
Gradually, by always trying to remember
You, we are raised to the importance of
treating any sentient being the way we
would like to be treated.
7
This life style of always thinking of You
is vital to our evolution as a soul. We
have come from exceedingly lower levels
of brute consciousness. Still, to ever
greater magnitudes of Divine
Consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence, we rise.

8
We know You as our One Supreme
Intelligence who pervades and transcends
all names, forms, and formlessness. You
are the Infinite, the All Mighty power of
all pervade and transcend all.
9
Thank You for showing us how to
simultaneously transcend our captivity in
the illusion of Maya, return to our History,
our Culture, our Spiritual Integrity, be
truly free from insatiable desire, and
increasingly in union with Your
Everlasting Peace.

10
We think of You as the smallest of the small
and the biggest of the big, simultaneously.
You are eternal, full of unlimited grace,
knowledge, and compassion. Purification
of our consciousness, awareness, and
intelligence by praising You, helps us
remember and return to You.
11
We reclaim, rebuild, and are restored to
our traditional greatness as we study and
practice this ancient spirituality of constant
praising and remembering You. This is
one of the spiritual tools we are using to
help us remain out of Maya and
constantly returning here to You, Divine
Intelligence.
12
Praising, thanking, and remembering
You, in all situations, is one of our main
spiritual practices. Researching our
history shows us that this, or a very
similar spiritual practice, was used by
our intelligent, righteous, Divinely
inspired and aware Ancestors.
13
By always remembering You, our Most
Righteous Ancestors seem to have been
able to restore their lower self to their
Divine Intelligence.
14
This spirituality of our most righteous and
Divinely Aware ancestors, which You are
revealing to us, consists of Divine centered:
praise and thanksgiving, prayer, study,
sacrifice, service, right association, and
meditation.

15
We are striving to remember You ever
more. Consequently, in addition to purity
and patience, we are regaining our
original state of being: Eternal Pure
Intelligence, full of complete
comprehension and tranquil bliss, as
a living reality in our daily life.
16
Praising and thanking You helps to purify
and bring our total consciousness,
awareness, and intelligence into complete
union with You. As we reawaken to union
with You, we return to being the
compassionate, ever well wisher of all
living entities.
17
With all the love and devotion at our
command, we thank You for teaching us
how to remember You in all circumstances.
Thank You for accepting this humble
offering of praise and thanksgiving.
18
As we praise and thank You, we very
naturally transcend the coarseness and misery
of the life of material designations. Thank You
for helping us experience, through research,
observation, and reflection, who we are and
how to attain You, our most beneficial goal of
our life.
