enchant the world-mind.
May a thousand divinities
orbit around your mind-sun.
May the Master meet you on the road and say,
"Where have you been all this time as I waited for you".
May you become
the wellspring of all philosophies.
May you become a nest
for those seeking shelter
because your mind-wings
can enfold and protect them.

where mind-diamonds glow
with the light of the sun
that is within each of these diamonds.
For that meditate.
May your mind never sleep
and, may, thereby you have the deepest rest.
May your heart contain that secret treasure
for which the sages value you immensely.
May your words become suns
to shine over future generations.
May your word-moons of inspiration
and solace for others never wane.
May your inspirations so overflow
they fill all heart-empties of living beings.
May your mind so expand
that it is seen as All-mind of infinity.
May you change the noisy darkness
into silent thought.
Be. Cease to become
and thereby become all you wish to Be.
May you be so pulled towards infinity as the ocean
is pulled towards the moon of peace, solace and silence.
May the vast countryside called your mind
be the most enchanting one.
May the minds of Masters
make your mind their permanent dwelling place.
May the quietening waves flowing from you
never lose their intensity as they reach unquiet minds.

and fill the cells of those who pass by you
and may they then emanate some waves towards others.

wherever malodorous minds congregate.

be understood only by silent ones.

become lit up candles in your presence.

May the words you ever hear
reach your mind as waves of silence.
May your words be waves from the mind-sea of silence.
May you win landscapes that stretch far and wide
only in the consciousness of divine sages.
Be immeasurable.
May you, without reading,
know all the scriptures in your heart.
May your presence confer inexhaustible fortunes
to souls that have known no light before.
May the orphaned minds
(who have never been sheltered by a sage)
find their sage in you.
The diamonds of light you see in your meditation &emdash;
may you store them in a sack made of your smooth mind fabric.
May the sack get so heavy
that you have to distribute your mind-diamonds
to the spiritually impoverished.
May you become known
as the elder brother of the Sun.
May you become known
as the elder sister of the Moon.
May you become known
as the parent of many Stars.
