Gayatri Mantra and Isa Upanishad


AUM. Earth! Sky! Stars!
We meditate on the Light of Brahman!
May the Light of Brahman illumine our hearts and intellects
and guide our actions.

AUM. Peace! Peace! Peace!




Witness the Universe, and all that lives and moves on Earth, with the Eye of Brahman.
Ignore the temporal, and find joy in the Eternal.
Purify your desires, and working thus, you may live a long life of freedom.
Whomever in life denies Brahman will fall into a hell of despair and death.
Without moving, Brahman is swifter than the mind and faster than you can run.
The senses cannot perceive Brahman.
Brahman moves yet Brahman moves not.
Brahman is far and near.
Brahman is within all, and beyond all.
There is no fear in those who see Brahman as their own being and in all beings.
What delusion and sorrow can ever harm the soul who perceives unity in diversity?
Brahman fills all with radiance, beyond form and changes.
Brahman is the witness and the thinker behind all thoughts.
Brahman is omnipresent and transcendent.
All things reveal Brahman and point to the Eternal.
Action alone is inadequate.
Intellect alone is inadequate.
The soul that works and thinks overcomes death and reaches immortality.
Following the immanent alone is inadequate.
Following the transcendent alone is inadequate.
The soul that knows both the immanent and transcendent overcomes death and reaches immortality.
May the hidden Truth be unveiled to lovers of Brahman!
May the light of the sun inspire a vision of the Light of Brahman!
May we perceive the distant Brahman as our intimate Source!
The body will go to ashes, yet Brahman is immortal.
May our adoration, work and thoughts lead to joy and peace!


AUM.
