At the Feet of the Master

Invocation to the Divine

OM

yasmāt paraṁ nāparam asti kiñcidya-
     smānnāṇīyo na jyāyo’sti kaścit

vṛkṣa iva stabdho divi tiṣṭhatyeka-
     stenedaṁ pūrṇaṁ puruṣeṇa sarvam

There is nothing higher than or different from Him; nothing greater or more minute than Him. Rooted in His own glory, He stands like a tree, one without a second and immovable. By that Being, the whole universe is filled.

ya eko’varṇo bahudhā saktiyogād
     varṇānanekān nihitārtho dadhāti,

vicaiti cānte viśvamādau ca devaḥ
     sa no buddhyā śubhayā saṁyunaktu

May that Divine Being, who, though Himself featureless, gives rise to various features in different ways, with the help of His own power, for His own inscrutable purpose, and who dissolves the whole world in Himself in the end, May He endow us with good thoughts!

(Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad).
