me by raising my consciousness and transforming my mind into a receptacle of the
divine; Who instills in me the sterling qualities of
Divine Consciousness. Tvameva Bandu cha Sakha Tvameva: You are my True Relative with Whom I am eternally related
as Atman (Soul-self) with Paramatman (the Supreme Self),
and You are my Best Friend, my Eternal Companion and Dearest Confident Who will
never leave me. Tvameva Vidya: You are the Divine Wisdom, the Essence of everything
I know, everything I am learning, and everything I do not know but seek to understand
and realize (actualize). Dravinam Tvameva: You are the Highest Wealth (Laxmi)

and the next. You are the Source of everything good and the Bestower
of all Resources we require for our physical sustenance and spiritual enlightenment. You are the Wealth of Wisdom and the Gift of
Liberation (Moksha). Tvameva Sarvam Mama
