By gods revered, by men adored Should all the other gods conspire? They could not frustrate they desire. The circling years which wear away? All else, to thee bring no decay. Though bloom-est on it youthful force, While countless ages run their course.  

Who knows the truth? Who here will pronounce whence this birth, Whence this creation, Gods appeared afterward, With the creation of this world, Who then know whence it arose.”

“O lord! Keep me not in the unreality”                                But lead me towards the reality   O Lord! Keep me not in the darkness But lead me towards the light O lord! keep me not in the fear But lead me towards the immortality O lord! may there be peace, peace and peace Om”
