Realizing Him who is
without beginning or end,
who creates the cosmos
in the midst of chaos,
who assumes many forms,
and who alone envelopes everything,
one becomes free from all fetters.

May we realize Him,
the transcendent and adorable
master of the universe,
who is the supreme lord
over all the lords,
the supreme God
above all the gods,
and the supreme ruler
over all the rulers.

No one in the world
is His master,
nor has anybody
any control over Him.
There is no sign
by which He can be inferred.
He is the cause of all,
and the ruler of individual souls.
He has no parent,
nor is there any one
who is His lord.

He is the eternal
among the eternals
and the intelligent
among all that are intelligent.
Though one,
He grants the desires of the many.
One is released from all fetters
on realizing Him,
the cause of all,
who is comprehensible
through philosophy
and religious discipline.

He is the soul of the universe,
He is immortal,
and His is the rulership.
He is the all-knowing,
the all-pervading,
the protector of the universe,
the eternal ruler.
None else is there efficient
to govern the world eternally.

These truths, when taught, shine forth only in that high-souled one who has supreme devotion to God, and an equal degree of devotion to the spiritual teacher. They shine forth in that high-souled one only.

Om
Peace !
Peace !!
Peace !!!
