A Sacred Prayer for Children.

A Sacred Prayer for Children.
 
May you know and grow up to believe that this world is a safe place.
 
May you grow up with parents that allow you to be yourself, with your parents encouraging your aptitude and uniqueness rather than imposing their expectations of you.
 
May you have the freedom to explore your world safely, with loving boundaries and the space to explore this beautiful world on which you have been born.
 
May the whisper of your mothers voice and song soothe and calm you in troubled times.

Music--Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj (1858-1948)

Sound, the main way the absolute manifests,
is also a mystery
and those who understand the principles of sound
hold the secret of the Universe

My music is like my thought
They are my very feelings
The more I dive into the ocean
Of feelings/perception and emotions
The prettier are the pearls
I carry with me as melody and harmony

my music is my religion;
its worldly success will never be my prize
because it is priceless/beyond price
my sole objective/aim is to attain perfection

Aspiration and Dedication Prayer

FOR AS LONG AS I REMAIN IN THIS WORLD,
MAY THERE NEVER ARISE, EVEN FOR AN INSTANT,
THE THOUGHT OF HARMING OTHERS.
FOR THE GOOD OF ALL,
MAY I ENERGETICALLY EXERT MYSELF TO AWAKEN,
EVEN THROUGH TIMES OF DEPRESSION AND WEARINESS.
MAY MY THOUGHTS, WORDS AND ACTIONS BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL BEINGS.
BY THE PERFECT VIRTUES, MAY ALL SITUATIONS, CONDITIONS AND EMOTIONAL CHALLENGES
BE TRANSFORMED INTO OCCASIONS FOR SPIRITUAL PROGRESS.
MAY THE THOUGHTS ARISING IN MY MIND COME UNDER MY CONTROL.
