Invocation and Praise
Devotion is the offering of the mind to the supreme, formless reality. The sacred chants and praises are not mere words but vehicles to transcend thought and desire. This worship is directed toward the all-pervading consciousness that is the root of all existence. Recitation with sincere devotion aligns the individual will with the divine. The ultimate goal is to realize that state beyond attributes, the silent space of nirvana. True prayer dissolves the sense of separation, merging the worshipper into the formless Brahman. It is an invocation for grace to awaken to one's own supreme nature.
"Those who recite with devotion to the Lord, may their wishes be fulfilled."
"I bow to the Lord of Lords, the form of Nirvāṇa, the omnipresent, all-pervading Brahman."
