Everlasting Omnipresent Peace

Praise And Thanksgiving 7

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayathri.

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.

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.

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.

Pervading and transcending the totality of all, material

and spiritual, You are the Supreme being of our most

intelligent understanding.

Unconditional Love, You are the Supreme Knower and

Loving Awareness of all. All praises to You. Thank You for

showing us how to be devoted to You through constant

remembrance.

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.

7
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 Changeless Source of

all change. 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.

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.
