Aum Gung Ganapathaye Namah

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato samma-sambuddhassa

Homage to The Blessed One, Accomplished and Fully Enlightened

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

 

Introductory Prayer

I pray The Being who always was of old, and has now been by me revealed, to grant that my words may endure in so far as they have been spoken truly and acceptably to Him; but if unintentionally I have said anything wrong, I pray that He will impose upon me a just retribution, and the just retribution of him who errs is that he should be set right. Wishing, then, to speak truly in future concerning the generation of the gods, I pray Him to give me knowledge, which of all medicines is the most perfect and best.

            - Timaeus in Critias by Plato

6. Show us the straight way,

7. The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

          - The Holy Quran. Surah 1. The Opening.

 

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

          - Matthew 26:6-13 :: King James Version (KJV)

 

I consider as imperfect all those philosophies which fail to please the Lord because of their lack of devotional exuberance. Knowledge does not shine with dazzling brilliance, if it is devoid of the fervor of devotion to the Supreme Being.

            - Narada to Sage Vyasa

 

Concluding Prayer

13 …God be merciful to me a sinner.

          - Luke 18:13 :: King James Version (KJV)

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. “Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!
