I shall love the whole world,
But I shall control
Only myself.

Never was there a time when I was not,
nor thou, nor these lords of men, nor will there ever be a time hereafter when we shall cease to be.

God's Sadness
You feel sad that you have failed
Dive deep within.
You will feel that God's sadness
At your failure
Far surpasses your sadness.
Does it not console you?
It should and it must.

My name, my age
At last I know my name.
My name is God's eternal Game.
At last I know my name.
At last I know my age.
My age is Infinity's page.
At last I know my age.
At last I know my home.
My home is where my flame worlds roam.
At last I know my home.

The Gayatri Mantra
Aum bhur bhuvah svah
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah pracodayat.
We meditate on the transcendental glory of
the Deity Supreme,
who is inside the heart of the earth,
inside the life of the sky,
and inside the soul of the heaven.
May He stimulate and illumine our minds.
Commentary
The Gayatri Mantra is the most hallowed mantra of the Vedas. It is the mother of all the mantras. Mantra means incantation. A mantra can be a one-syllable word or a few words, a sentence or a few sentences. The Gayatri Mantra can offer to the sincere seeker the Light of the Infinite, the Delight of the Eternal, and the Life of the Immortal.

Protection
Transliteration
Saha nau avatu, saha nau bhunaktu
Saha viryam karavavahai.
Translation
May He protect us together.
May He own us together.
May He make unto us vigour and virility.
Commentary
God, Guru, and disciple:
God is Compassion and Protection;
Guru is Concern;
The disciple is dedication.
When these three work together,
perfect Perfection shines,
and it will shine through eternity.

Truth is God's Crown offered to God by God Himself. Truth realized, God is forever caught.

Apocalypse
Within, without the cosmos wide am I;
In joyful sweep I loose forth and draw back all.
A birthless deathless Spirit that moves and is still
Ever abides within to hear my call.
I who create on earth my joys and doles
To fulfil my matchless quest in all my play,
I veil my face of truth with golden hues
And see the serpent night and python day.
A Consciousness Bliss I feel in each breath;
I am the self amorous child of the Sun.
At will I break and build my symbol sheath
And freely enjoy the world's unshadowed fun.
