Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram

Each one holds within themselves the seed of infinite power.
This seed is the origin of heavens and earth -
of the whole world and the creatures in it.
When one realises that one is born of this seed,
one opens up the channel, through which flows into oneself
 the light and power of this immortal seed.
One�s weakness is conquered and inexhaustible strength manifests instead.
One�s ignorance is dispelled and one�s heart is illumined with Divine knowledge.
Doubt vanishes and unshakable faith takes birth in its place.
Grief and misery are annulled and true peace and joy pervade one�s being.
Thus life becomes a dazzling meteor radiating a divine and soothing brilliance.

- Swami (Papa) Ramdas
