Nayan nehare bishwa bhuvan
/Nayan nehare bishwa bhuvan/

/Herena tahar pran//Tai ankhi duti ruddha kariya/

/Jogi kare tar dhyan//Shruti shudhu shune bahirer katha/

/Shunena oishi bani//Sangjata tai shrutire kariche/

/Satya tapasa gyani/

The eye sees the entire world

But it sees not its own life;Therefore, keeping the two eyes closed

The Yogi meditates on You,O Lord Supreme.

The ear hears onlyThe messages and the clamour of the outer world.

It hears not the messagesOf the highest Heaven;

Therefore, the true seeker of wisdomAlways tries to keep his ears

Under his perfect control.

Early in the morning, when you sit down to meditate, take three very deep, slow, steady breaths, and … For this difference, we are grateful to the Supreme, for He has chosen us to get up and meditate.

After offering our gratitude, we can begin meditation. Think of the Supreme as a human being.
