Twelve Chants And A Prayer

Eko sat viprah, bahud vadanti

The One Truth

There is Only One Truth, but...
The Learned define it in many ways!

That One Divinity

Param purush parmatma...
Moves in every direction...
In its stability....
That One Divinity reveals everything
That One Divinity hides in every being
That One Divinity is the root of all action
That One Divinity is witness of everything
That One Divinity is source of all reasoning
That One Divinity is the refuge of all beings
That One Divinity is pure and formless
Of All Times.

III

The One and The Last

Adi is The First
Adi is The Final
Adi is The Invisible
Adi is The Knower of Everything
Adi is the invisible, all-knowing first and final

The Brahma Code

Neither is Brahma the Word
Nor is the Brahma the Mind
Nor is Brahma the Sight
Nor is Brahma discernible
Witnessing Him is beyond Good and Evil,
Witnessing Him is beyond Right and Wrong.
MAY the Seeker in me, abiding in firm Faith, confront HIM!

The One Born

With firm faith may I find, feel, give form, birth and define the undefined,
untread, helpless, formless divine.

The Starlight

By the stream, in the sky, dwells the starlight illuminating the world
with compassion to bring peace upon earth

VII

The Sacred Theatre

May I rest on will and work to acquire
KNOWLEDGE by walking along the light stream
where the Self becomes the sacred theatre
of sacrifice in pursuit of excellence.

VIII

The Light River

May I focus on the pure and the spotless source
to distort and download the free flowing light river
that is the life force, nourisher and controller
of the earth force and the space force
and the harbinger of knowledge of all life into my heartspace
where the best of excellence is worthy of worship
by weaving words into chants in the rhythm of my footsteps.

The Sky Is Clear

May I be one with the unmanifested manifest
that preserves all creation,
indestructible in destroying all there is
without mourning the discarded garb
to don anew in celebration of the one within
without that wears not in arms, burns not in fire,
soaks not in rain, dries not in wind,
for it cannot be pierced or burnt or drenched or dried
without doubt all pervasive, stationed, stable,
eternal, unmoved by senses, forever unchanging,
forever dying, forever born, in death of birth of the unborn,
born no other way, but this!

Deliver Me

May I discharge my obligations with full effort
and dedication and keep faith that all my good
and evil deeds, irrespective of being rewarded
or discarded by society or the ruler,
are rewarded or discarded by The Divine.
Then alone will MISRULE and MISGOVERNANCE
cease in the land and I will gradually be
DELIVERED towards acquiring Divine Grace
in an ORDERLY and MORAL environment.

Who Am I?

Neither am I a human
Nor am I a celestial
Not divine am I

Neither am I a scholar
Nor am I a soldier
Not merchant am I

Neither am I a householder
Nor am I a renouncer
Not beggar am I

I am my own Creation
I am my own Revelation
That's who I am. I AM!

XII

I Am!

I am the helpless
I am the vulnerable
I AM that BRILLIANCE!

A Prayer!

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness only light
And where there's sadness ever joy

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul

Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness only light
And where there's sadness ever joy
