A Prayer for Unity and Peace
A universal spiritual truth is that all paths ultimately lead to the one God.
There is only one God in the universe, known by many names, who is all-knowing and present everywhere. Every form of prayer, thought, and spiritual practice leads to this same divine reality. We recognize the world is in a difficult period and pray for the Almighty to grant correct understanding and forgiveness to all. The ancient scriptures express the wish for universal happiness, harmony, and prosperity for everyone. We ask to be guided from illusion to truth, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. The ultimate realization is that we are not the actors; God alone is the sole doer. The aspiration is for health, peace, and contentment for all beings.
"Every prayer, every thought, every spiritual practice will lead to Him."
"We are not the doer. You are the doer. Lord, You are the only doer."
