| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Its form is not visible here - neither its end, nor origin, not its basis. Having cut down this firm-rooted tree by the mighty sword of non-attachment, that goal is to be sought after, attaining which the wise do not return again. I take refuge in that primeval Being, from whom streams forth the eternal creative Energy. |
