~**~         Asatho maa sad gamaya:

        From the unreal, lead me to the Real. The unreal is this ever-changing objective world;
        when one is detached from this and attached to the Eternal Divine within, he reaches
        the Real.

   ~**~        Thamaso maa jyothir gamaya:

        From darkness, lead me into Light. No darkness is as thick as Ignorance of one's
        own Divinity; when That is known and experienced, one is in the Light.

   ~**~        Mrthyor maa amrtham gamaya:

        From death, lead me into Immortality. When one identifies himself with the body
        and the senses, which are subject to death, one is in 'death' ; when one knows
        he is the undying Atma (a wave of the Ocean, which is God) he is in Immortality.
