PUBLISHERS NOTE
Even among the inspiring books of Sri Gurudev, this is a unique book. It was written with

Gurudev had given in this book the very essence of his own teachings.
Hence, this book was chosen for being sent to every new member of the Divine Life Society

Members of the Divine Life Society and spiritual aspirants have added this precious volume
to the scriptures which they study daily as Svadhyaya and have derived incalculable benefit by the
assimilation of these teachings into their daily life.
This text containing, a valuable treasure of wisdom is placed in the hands of aspirants all
over the world in the fervent hope that it will guide them to the great goal of human life, viz.,
God-realisation.

UNIVERSAL PRAYER
Thou art, O Lord! The creator of this universe. Thou art the protector of this world. Thou art
in the grass and the rose. Thou art in the sun and the stars. Salutations unto Thee! O bestower of joy
and bliss!
O Sweet Lord! Let me be free from the clutches of death. Let me be able to look upon all
beings with equal vision. Let me be free from impurity and sin. Give me strength to control the
mind. Give me strength to serve Thee and the humanity untiringly. Make me Thy fit instrument for
Thy work. Make me pure and strong.
I bow to Thee, O Indweller of many hearts! O Secret of secrets! Remove my weaknesses,
defects and evil thoughts. Make me pure so that I may be able to receive Thy grace and blessings. O
Lord! Thou art the thread-soul that connects all beings. Thou pervadest all, permeatest and
interpenetratest all things of this universe.
Thou art light divine. Thou art the dispeller of ignorance. Thou art All-merciful Lord. Give
me a life without disease. Let me remember Thee always. Let me develop all sublime virtues.
Thou art Self-luminous. Thou art my father, mother, brother, friend, relative and guide. Let
me realise the Truth. Let me be free from greed, lust, egoism, jealousy and hatred. Prepare me as
Thy sweet messenger on this earth so that I may radiate joy, peace and bliss to the whole world. Let
me utilise this body, mind and senses in Thy service and the service of Thy creatures. Breathe into
me Thy breath of Immortality. Let me recognise the universal brotherhood of man. Let me love all
as my own self. Salutations unto Thee, O Lord of compassion.
PRAYER TO THE MOTHER
Salutations to the Divine Mother who exists in all beings in the form of intelligence, mercy
and beauty. Salutations, O Sweet Mother the consort of Lord Siva! O Mother Parvati! Thou art
Lakshmi. Thou art Sarasvati. Thou art Kali, Durga and Kundalini. Thou art the embodiment of all
power. Thou art Para Sakti. Thou art in the form of all objects. Thou art the sole refuge of all. Thou
hast enchanted the world. The whole universe is the play of Thy three Gunas. How can I praise
Thee? Thy glory is indescribable. Thy splendour is ineffable. Protect me. Guide me, O Loving
Mother!
O Adorable Mother! Thou hast generated this great illusion by which all people walk
deluded in this world. All sciences have come from Thee. Without Thy grace no one can get success
in spiritual Sadhana and salvation in the end. Thou art the seed for this world. Thou hast two
aspects, viz., the unmanifested aspect or Avyaktam and the manifested aspect or the gross universe.
The whole world gets dissolved in Avyaktam during Pralaya. Give me the divine eye. Let me
behold Thy real majestic form. Help me to cross over this illusion, O Kind Mother!
iv
O Compassionate Mother! I bow to Thee. Thou art my saviour. Thou art my goal. Thou art
my sole support. Thou art my guide and the remover of all afflictions, troubles and miseries. Thou
art the embodiment of auspiciousness. Thou pervadeth the whole universe. The whole universe is
filled with Thee. Thou art the storehouse of all qualities. Do Thou protect me. I again and again
salute Thee; O glorious Mother! Salutations to Thee. All women are Thy parts. Mind, egoism,
intellect, body, Prana and senses are Thy forms. Thou art Para-Prakriti and Apara-Prakriti. Thou art
electricity, magnetism, force, energy, power and will. All forms are Thy forms only. Reveal to me
the mystery of creation. Bestow on me the divine knowledge.
O Loving Mother! Thou art the primal energy, Thou hast two aspects, viz., the terrible and
the peaceful. Thou art modesty, gentleness, shyness, generosity, courage, forbearance and patience.
Thou art faith in the heart of devotees and nobility in noble people, chivalry in warriors and ferocity
in tigers. Give me strength to control the mind and the Indriyas. Make me worthy to dwell in Thee!
Salutation unto Thee!
O Mother Supreme! When shall I have equal vision and a placid state of mind? When shall I
be established in Ahimsa, Satyam and Brahmacharya? When shall I get deep abiding peace and
perennial joy? When shall I enter in deep meditation and Samadhi?
O Radiant Mother! I have not done any spiritual Sadhana or service of teachers. I have not
practised any Vrata, pilgrimage, charity, Japa and meditation or worship. I have not studied
religious scriptures. I have neither purity nor a burning yearning for liberation. Thou art my only
refuge. Thou art my only support. My silent adoration unto Thee! I am Thy meek supplicant.
Remove the veil of ignorance.
Gracious Mother! Prostrations unto Thee. Where art Thou? Do not forsake me. I am Thy
child. Take me to the other shore of fearlessness and joy. When shall I behold Thy lotus-feet with
my own eyes? Thou art the boundless ocean of mercy. When the philosophers stone turns iron into
gold by contact, when the Ganga turns impure water into pure water, canst Thou not turn me, O
Mother Divine, into a pure Soul? May my tongue repeat Thy Name always!
