Everlasting Omnipresent Peace

Praise And Thanksgiving 7

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.

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 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.

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.

All Praise to You, Master of the cosmic manifestations. You,

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.
