Nov 11.99: Light For The Day - "The Truth Of God"

... "If you continue obey in my word, you are
truly my disciples, and you will know the truth,
and the truth will make you free."
-- John 8:31,32 (RSV)

------------------------
Supreme God, Your light is brighter than the sun,
Your purity whiter than mountain snow, You are
present wherever I go.

All people of wisdom praise You. so I too put
faith in all Your Words, knowing that everything
You teach is true. Neither the angels in heaven
nor the demons in hell can know the perfection
of Your wisdom, for it is beyond all understanding.

Only Your Spirit know You; only You can know
Your true self. You are the source of all being,
the power of all power, the ruler of all creatures. 

So You alone understand what You are.

In your mercy reveal to me all that I need to know,
in order to find peace and joy. Tell me the truths
that are necessary for the world in which I live.

Show me how I can meditate upon You, learning
from You the wisdom that I need. I am never tired
of hearing You, because Your Words brings life.

-- Arjuna
