Every word in this text is precious. It should be read slowly and thoughtfully. It is WISDOM. If it is fully understood, it will transform consciousness, which in turn will transform behavior. I say this from my ninety eight years of experience.

This prayer, this plea to god for, "my country to awake," makes me want to bow my head and say, "Please. Amen." May we awaken and remember that even to wake up is journey and that so many of us wake and sleep and wake and sleep and then wake again. We are the people of the country who need to awake. If more and more of us awaken, then... we can wake up from this collective nightmare and surrender to peace.

Not Father. Not Mother. Beyond Name. Beyond Form: The divine essence of which Tagore speaks that drives the cosmos. May I realize that ultimate freedom beyond fragmentary reality, beyond duality. That is my prayer. That is who I am.
