Think About Light, How it always overcomes …

Those who love and revere Light,
who surrender all actions to Light,
who meditate upon Light
with undistracted attention,

whose minds have entered Lights being –
Light comes to them all, [Arjuna],
and quickly rescues them all
from the ocean of death and birth.

Concentrate every thought
on Light alone; with a mind
fully absorbed, one-pointed,
you will live within Light, forever.

If you find that you are unable
to center your thoughts on Light,
strengthen your mind by the steady
practice of concentration.

If this is beyond your powers,

dedicate yourself to Light;

performing all actions for Light’s sake,

you will surely achieve success.
If even this is beyond you,
rely on Light’s basic teaching:
act always without attachment,
surrendering your action’s fruits.

Knowledge is better than practice;
meditation is better
than knowledge; and best of all
is surrender, which soon brings peace.

He who has let go of hatred,
who treats all beings with kindness
and compassion, who is always serene,
unmoved by pain or pleasure,

free of the “I” and “mine,”
self-controlled, firm and patient,
his whole mind focused on Light –
that man is the one Light loves best.

He who neither disturbs
the world nor is disturbed by it,
who is free of all joy, fear, envy –
that man is the one Light loves best.

He who is pure, impartial,
skilled, unworried, calm,
selfless in all undertakings –
that man is the one Light loves best.

He who, devoted to Light,
is beyond joy and hatred, grief
and desire, good and bad fortune –
that man is the one Light loves best.

The same to both friend and foe,
the same in disgrace or honor,
suffering or joy, untroubled,
indifferent to praise and blame,

quiet, filled with devotion,
content with whatever happens,
at home wherever he is –
that man is the one Light loves best.

Those who realize the essence
of duty, who trust Light completely
and surrender their lives to Light –
Light loves them with very great love.
