Peace Chant
Om! That (the Invisible-Absolute) is whole; whole in this (the visible phenomenal ) from the Invisible whole comes forth the visible whole. Though the visible whole has come out from that Inisible, whole, yet the whole remains unaltered.
OM! Peace Peace! Peace!
I All this, whatsoever exists in the universe, should be covered by the Lord. Having renounced (the unreal), enjoy (the Real). Do not covet the wealth of any man.
II If one should desire to live in this world a hundred years, one should live performing Karma (righteous deeds). Thus thou mayest live; there is no other way. By doing this, Karma (the fruits of thy actions) will not defile thee.
III After leaving their bodies, they who have killed the Self go to the worlds of the Asuras, covered with blinding ignorance.
IV That one, though motionless, is swifter than the mind. The senses can never overtake. It, for Iit ever goes before. Though immovable, It travels faster than those who run. By It the all-prevading air sustains all living beings.
V It moves and It moves not. It is far and also It is near. It is within and also. It is without all this.
VI He who sees all being in the self and the self in all beings, he never turns away from It (the self).
VII He who perceives all being as the Self for him how can there be delusion or grief, when he sees this oneness (everywhere)?
VIII He (the self) is all-encircling, resplendent, bodiless, spotless, without sinews, pure, untouched by sin, all seeing, all knowing transcendent, self-existent; He has disposed all things duly for eternal years.
IX They enter into blind darkness who worship Avidya (ignorance and delusion) ; they fall, as it were into greater darkness who worship Vidya (knowledge)
X By Vidya one end is attained; by Avidya another. Thus wer have heard from the wise men who taught this.
XI He who knows at the same time both Vidya and Avidya, crosses over death by Avidya and avvains immorality through Vidya.
XI He who knows at the same time both Vidya and Avidya, crosses over death by Avidya and attain immortality through Vidya.
XII They fall into blind darkness who worship the Unmanifested and they fall into greater darkness who workshop the manifested.
XIII By the worship of the Unmanifested one end is attained, by the worship of the manifested, another. Thus we have heard from the rise men who taught us this.
XIV He who knows at the same time both the unmanifested (the cause of manifestation) and the destructible or manifested, he crosses over death through knowledge of the destructible and attains immorality through knowledge of the First Cause (Unmanifested).
XV The face of Truth is hidden by a golden disk. O Pushan (Effulgent Being)! Uncover (Thy tace) that I, the worshipper of Truth, may behold three.
XVI O Pushan O Sun, slole traveler of the heavens, controller, of all, son of Prajapati, withdraw They rays and gather up Prajapati, withdraw. They rays and gather up. Thy buring effulgence. Now through Thy Grace I behold Thy blessed and glorious form. The purusha (Effulgent Being) who dwells within Thee, I am He.
XVII May my life-breath go to the all pervading and immortal Pradna, and let this body be burned to ashes. Om! O Mind, remember they deeds! O mind remember, remember thy deeds! Remember!
XVIII O Agni (Bright Being)! Lead us to blessedness by the good path. O Lord! Thou knowest all over deeds, remove all evil and delusion from us. To Thee we offer our prostrations and supplications again and again.
