O my Lord, my whole being is Your self, and this mind which has been given to me is Your consort. The life-force, breath and energy which You have given me are Your attendants. My body is the temple in which I worship You. Whatever I eat or wear or do is all part of the worship which I keep on performing at this temple. Even when this body goes to sleep at night, I feel I am in union with You. Whenever I walk, I feel I am going on pilgrimage to You. Whatever I speak is all in praise of You. So whatever I do in this world in any way is all aimed at You. In fact, there is no duality in this life of union with Your self. - A prayer given to [[Dr. Francis Roles]] in 1977 by Shantananda Saraswati, the late Shankaracharya of the north of India.
