THE COSMIC MEN’S PRAYER—MEDITATION

The Divine Supreme Intelligence of worship, court and cater to, in all earnestness.

In Truth, the Holy Spirit of the whole Universe I sincerely strive and dwell.

The company of nobler souls and more enlightened people I constantly request and seek.

The help, protection, guidance and inspiration of Godly powers I eagerly strive to deserve.

In the Cosmic Mind I seek to expand in awakened conscience.

All evil thought and wicked forces are powerless in my presence.

I am the best support and defender of the weak, the sick, the needy and the victims of injustice.

May I always be a Spiritual Light and channel of Divine Blessings.

May I ever be righteous and humble, and loved by everybody.
