Praise And Thanksgiving 7
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.
Aum Tat Sat. Namo Namaha
We think of You as our Home, the Source of boundless
creativity and blessings. Beyond happiness and distress, the
ultimate goal and purpose of our existence, You are the One,
the greatest simplicity, our emergence, evolution, and
absorption.
Thank You for showing us the importance of fixing our mind
on You so that we are delivered from the densest ignorance.
In this way we resurrect ourselves spiritually, intellectually,
mentally, and physically.
All merciful Supreme Being of the cosmos, all we need is
within You. You are the Heart, the Centerless Center, the
soul of our life, the Infinite Consciousness within all sentient
beings and which all sentient beings are within.
Verily, You are the Supreme being of our most intelligent
understanding. Unconditional Love, You are the Supreme
Knower. All praises to You. Thank You for showing us how
to be devoted to You and You alone, thus freeing our
consciousness of fear.
Ever Unsulliable, Supremely Pure in all respects, You are our
Supreme Being, Ever Existing without interruption. It is through thinking of You that we purify the consciousness and
conquer the monarch of beasts: anger, lust, greed.
It is because of those beasts: Anger, lust, greed, that consciousness is polluted and enslaved in the relentless
cycles of sufferings known as the material worlds. We rise
out of that morass by always thinking of You.

Excerpt from a poem by Shamugam
" You’re not your body and you’re not your mind;
Not knowing the timeless truth makes you blind;
You’re not your story and you’re not your thoughts;
You’re not those age old, buried mental knots.
You’re not that chattering voice in your head;
You’re not anything that you did or said;
You’re not anything that you have or know
You’re the truth that is watching all this show!
You’re not anything that can be perceived;
You’re not an object that can be observed;
You’re the screen where the world is being played;
You’re the emptiness where the form is made.
You’re the one witnessing the mind and breath;
You’re one without two, beyond birth and death;
Like the air trapped in a small round bubble,
You feel separate which brings all the trouble.
Inquire inside and wake up from this dream!
Let truth alone shine like a bright white beam!
By inquiry, your illusions will break;
You’ll stop mistaking the rope for a snake”
Excerpt from a poem by Shamugam
We think of You as the foundation, the Source of all. Thank
You for showing us how submitting all we think, will,
feel, say, and do to You, is working for the betterment of our
universe.
You are the Source of all peace, prosperity, and
boundless inner and outer joy. You for revealing to us a
methodology for purifying our consciousness and redeeming
ourselves from the suffering of repeated death and birth in
Maya.
You, Supreme Awareness, are the only one worthy of
worship. More subtle than the either and eternally present
everywhere. No image can confine nor define You.
Neither can any name define You. You are within and beyond
name, namelessness, formlessness and form, this and that.
Thank You for accepting our humble submissions of prayer,
glorification, and thanksgiving.
Supreme Awareness, You are the Power within, and behind
all Righteous, Royal Thrones, and the most humblest of
homes. You are always with us as Supreme Awareness,
pervading and transcending all vibration which activates and
sustains all subatomic particles.
You are the One, the Greatest Simplicity. You are always here
in this present moment, available to help us resurrect our
original pure consciousness. You can never leave us.
You are always here, permeating and transcending the
Silence, the Omnipresent Infinite Stillness of Being. Thank
You for teaching us how to worship You as Supreme
Awareness, the Source of all Consciousness.
Thank You for showing us how to fix our mind on You by
offering all to You and constantly calling out one or some of
Your infinite Names. These are some of the primary tools we
are employing to help us in our endeavors to sober and purify
all levels of our consciousness from the insanity of Maya.
All praises to You, Supreme Soul of the cosmic manifestation.
You are the changeless way to ever increasing inner joy and
contentment. Thank You for bringing more light to our
contentment. Thank You for bringing more light to our
traditional beliefs by inspiring us to search deeper and more
critically for the truth of who we really are.
All Praise to You, Master of the cosmic manifestations. You,
Divine Reality, alone are the only being worth striving for.
Divine Reality, alone are the only being worth striving for.
Please engage us in Your service evermore. All praise
to You, Invincible, Unbounded Consciousness, Infinite Ocean
The beginning, middle, and end of the cosmic manifestation,
and all space, rest in You. All the Arts and Sciences have
their origin, maintenance, and annihilation in You. Thank
You for showing us the benefits of total submission of
everything to You.
We think of You as the Infinite One. You are entirely self-
existent. Everything we are depends on You. You and You
alone are within and beyond all. We meditate on You as the
Stillness and Its Ultimate Witness.
Infinite One, You are entirely self-existent. Everything we
are depends on You. You and You alone are within and
beyond all. We meditate on You as the Most Important
Witness of consciousness. Thank You for allowing us to
witness observing consciousness.
We meditate on You as the Awareness of Silence eternally
pervading and transcending the cosmic manifestations and
all space within which they come, stay, and are dissolved
once more.
We think of You as the Ever Changeless One amidst
continuous change, flux You pervade and transcend the
morning mist, the dew, the grass, the earth and the
breathing of all bodies.
We think of You as Pure Consciousness, the source of all
wisdom, joy, and right understanding. Thank You for
revealing to us the comprehension that brings us ever
consciously closer to You.
Supreme consciousness, ever Pure, pervading and
transcending all impurities, You are one indivisible complete
whole. You are equal to all. None equals to You, the Supreme
Witness, within and beyond all and Nothing.
You pervade and transcend all the Galaxies and all the
intelligence within them. Please accept our humble
intelligence within them. Please accept our humble
submissions of praise.
Devotional Service to You destroys ignorance, purifies our
consciousness and keeps nonsense thoughts and chaos out
of our being. Surely, devotional service to You restores
order to our life, and keeps us in Your Everlasting,
Omnipresent, Peace.
Thank You endlessly for showing us how to always think
of You. Thinking of You purifies our consciousness and thus
elevates us from the suffering of Maya. Gradually, we
awaken to the endless tranquillity of You.
You are within and beyond the seen and the unseen. Saints
and sinners, the immobile and the mobile, oracles, fortune
tellers, ghosts, hobgoblins, magicians and mystics. All is
pervaded and transcended by You. Surely, You are
everywhere, within and beyond everything, and nothing.
You are our Supreme Being, Unchangeable, Perfect, Pure
Awareness pervading and transcending fire, earth, water,
wind and all elements. Thank You for showing us the way
back to Eternal Love, Peace, and Happiness.
We think of You as the One Supreme Divinity in all.
We think of You as Pure Awareness, in and beyond Your vast
and variegated costumes, disguises, and levels of
consciousness.
Thank You for showing us how to cleanse the Third Eye,
the Pineal Gland. Now our eye is single and our discernment
is ever clearer.
Thank You for showing us how we can fix our mind on You,
the Supreme Good of the universe. Pervading and
transcending all, You, Pure Love, are the Source of all light
and the Wisdom of the wise.
