Serve 13
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.
Aum Tat Sat. Namo Namaha
Before we started using our service to You to think of You
constantly, we languished in the mistaken belief that the Self
was a body, a mind, an intellect, or an ego. How ignorant we
were. As a consequence of this spiritual practice
of remembering You, we now know better.
Now, we write in praise and thanksgiving of You mainly for
our purification, although it is still service to You. Service to
You is association with You. Association with You is our
purification process. Of course, the more our consciousness
is purified, the more we are in conscious union with You.
Thank You for teaching us how to always think of You, and
how to speak about You as Supreme Awareness looking out
through everybody. Gradually, we are seeing our Self
as awareness looking out through this body.
Thank You for showing us how to repent. We sincerely
repent for all the foolishness we engaged in when we were
in the slavery of Maya. Always thinking of You is cleaning us
up and showing us how to transcend ignorance and stay out
of Maya.
Thank You for advising us to always think of You and
become Your devotee. Since applying your advice, our life
has become more light filled and easier, more creative and
productive. Thank You for Your edifying advice. Most of all,
thank You for advising us to always think of You.
Thank You for redeeming us from the enslavement of our
root enemy, ignorance of Self. It is that enemy that causes us
to fall into the slavery of lust, anger, and greed, and forget
You. Thank You for showing us, evermore, how to clean our
consciousness by remembering You. Thank You for showing
us how to remember You.
We think of You as the Source from which all natural laws
emanate. The beginning, middle, and the end are all
happening within You. Verily, You are the Absolute, within
and beyond all three. Simultaneously, You pervade and
transcend all natural laws.
We think of You as spread through and going beyond the
range of darkness and light, wrong and right; forms and
formless are spread through by You.
Thank You for teaching us how to use righteous, nonviolent,
service to You as a means to fix our mind on You; doing this,
freeds us from the sin, and suffering, of Maya, which includes
the worse kinds of slavery. It is all Maya.
You are our Supreme Power, the goal of knowledge of Self.
You are the Source of our folkways traditions, norms,
standards, and behavior. When we are in remembrance of
You, we can avoid entrapment, overcome and further avoid
entrapment and enslavement to Maya, Your illusory
energy.
Fixing the consciousness on You, the Most Pure, is the
primary vehicle we are using for bringing us back to our
original Pure Awareness. This is Absolute Freedom, beyond
breathing and restraining the breath.
Fixing the consciousness on You It depends on no material
considerations. It is a process, a will to always think of You
Thank You for helping us communicate with You, regain our
integrity, and overcome the tribulation filled life of Maya.
Socially and culturally our life is showing great improvement
the more we have been fixing our consciousness on You, the
Greatest Purifier. Thank You for allowing us the ability to
write these humble words in praise and thanksgiving
to You.
May some infinitesimal sparks of the measureless
splendor of Your wisdom and generosity shine through these
humble words. May they benefit all. You alone
are worthy of our absolute adoration.
We think of You as One, the Greatest Spiritual Master, and
the One of Limitless Power, the Source of Godhead and all Its
personalities, Supreme or otherwise. Thank You for teaching
us how to get up by following Your order that we always
think of You.
Supreme Absolute, within and beyond inconceivable and
conceivable, we experience You as our consciousness is
purified by always thinking of You. Thank You for helping
us to always think of You and to write in praise and
thanksgiving to You, notwithstanding the
grammatical discrepancies.
Gradually, by following Your order that we always think of
You, we are seeing how to use the facilities we have been
provided, by You, in greater service to You. This is the secret
to all success we are having in this endeavor to get up by
bringing our consciousness back into consciousness with You.
The more we associate with You through service to You, the
more we return to external and internal Quietness and
Stillness. Quietness is observing and experiencing the
tranquil beauty of Silence. Stillness is Awareness Observing
Awareness, Absolutely.
We think of You as the Source from which all natural laws
emanate. Simultaneously, You permeate and are beyond
Nature and all Its laws. We think of You as the Supreme
Divinity of Nature. No law nor deity is superior to You. You
are One. There is no other.
Worshiping You, in all we think, feel, will, say and do, is a
way out of the sin, suffering, problems and puzzles of life in
the seemingly natural worlds. Although seemingly natural
and real, those world are temporary, illusory and full of more
or less suffering, Maya.
The first, the middle, and the last, You are the Source of
morals, decency, and honesty. Thank You for again revealing
to us, as You revealed to our ancient ancestors, the science of
using service to You for reuniting with You in Spirit and in
Truth. It is by Your association that we regain our virtues
and a far superior life, a return to Divine Life.
By fixing our mind on You, through our service to You, we
are realizing a state of consciousness we had almost
completely forgotten. You are our Supreme being,
increasingly blissful, simply natural, within
and transcendental to all worlds. In fact, You are that
Supreme Awareness that is ever aware of Awareness
Itself.
Thank You for teaching us how to think critically,
carefully, and independently. We are doing this in the light
increasingly unbiased research, observation, and
experience; remembering You is our greatest help in this
effort.
Thank You for showing us how to lift ourselves from the
deepest conditions of ignorance, sufferings and slavery of
Maya by always thinking of You. We are experiencing the
fact that this spiritual practice is leading us to ever greater
benefits of freedom, security, prosperity, and peace.
It is this knowledge of Self, delivered by the spiritual
practice of seeing the Self as Awareness and always thinking
of You, that is delivering us back to our original position of
Eternal Bliss. Thank You for everything, just as it is.
Thank You for reminding us that our real business is to think
about You, hear about You, and talk about You with
praise, thanksgiving, prayer, study, sacrifice, service, right
association, and meditation.
Most of all, thank You for teaching us how to always think of
You. This spiritual practice amplifies our mental, intellectual,
and spiritual abilities while we come back to consciousness of
You. Thank You for helping us become more attached to
You. Everything else is impermanent.
Because of our continued purification of consciously, by
by always thinking of You, our discernment is continuously
awakened and we see ever clearer. Thank You for
reminding us to always think of You.
The more we worship You, and You alone, through service to
You, the greater is our recovery from the sin-sick insanity
that forgetfulness of You causes. Our service to You to helps
You, the greater is our recovery from the sin-sick insanity
that forgetfulness of You causes. Our service to You to helps
us remember You and be done with the sufferings of the
illusory worlds.
You pervade and transcend all words, sounds, vibrations,
states of being and the infinite, tranquil, silence of Now.
Thank You for showing us how to purify our consciousness of
negative instincts and emotions by offering all that we think,
feel, will, and do to You.
Serving You in all we think, feel, will, say and do, is a way out
of the sin, suffering, problems, puzzles and natural laws of
life in the temporary worlds of ignorance, Maya.
The ultimate goal of all our service to You is union with You,
The Omnipresent Enlightenment of Now. Thank You for
revealing to us how to relax and attain our original stability,
dignity, and self- respect, by calling out Your names and
serving You in all we do.
Thank You for showing us how to recognize You in all
beings. Thank You for helping us overcome ignorance of
Self. Thank You for helping us bring the otherwise unruly,
rascal mind, under our control and thereby make it our Holy
Friend.
Thank You for helping us see the Self as Consciousness or
Pure Energy looking out through the body from the sixth
Charka or center of the forehead at the Pineal Gland.
Thank You for showing us how to recognize, communicate
through, and meditate on Silence. Thank You for helping us
to never forget and always remember You. All of our praise
and thanksgiving is our humble offering to You alone.
