yajjāgrato dūramudaiti daivaṃ tadu suptasya tathaivaiti
dūraṅgamaṃ jyotiṣāṃ jyotirekaṃ tanme manaḥ śivasaṅkalpamastu

yena karmāṇyapaso manīṣiṇo yajñe kṛṇvanti vidatheṣu dhīrāḥ
yadapūrvaṃ yakṣamantaḥ prajānāṃ tanme manaḥ śivasaṅkalpamastu

yatprajñānamuta ceto dhṛtiśca yajjyotirantaramṛtaṃ prajāsu
yasmānna'ṛte kiṃ cana karma kriyate tanme manaḥ śivasaṅkalpamastu

yenedaṃ bhūtaṃ bhuvanaṃ bhaviṣyatparigṛhītamamṛtena sarvam
yena yajñastāyate saptahotā tanme manaḥ śivasaṅkalpamastu

yasminnṛcaḥ sāma yajūm̐ṣi yasmin pratiṣṭhitā rathanābhāvivārāḥ yasmim̐ścittam̐ sarvamotaṃ prajānāṃ tanme manaḥ śivasaṅkalpamastu

suṣārathiraśvāniva yanmanuṣyānnenīyate 'bhīśubhirvājina 'iva
hṛtpratiṣṭhaṃ yadajiraṃ javiṣṭhaṃ tanme manaḥ śivasaṅkalpamastu
That divine intelligence, the one far shining light of lights, ranges far in waking and goes the same way in sleep
May my mind rest in That, intent on the highest good

That which empowers the keepers of holy traditions, when they gather to perform sacred acts
That causal spirit in all beings May my mind rest in That, intent on the highest good

That knowledge, memory and will; That immortal light within all creatures, without which no action can be done
May my mind rest in That, intent on the highest good

That eternity which contains all this – the world, the past, the future; That through which the sacrifice by seven priests unfolds
May my mind rest in That, intent on the highest good

That in which the ṛk sāma and yajur vedas are fixed like spokes in the hub of a wheel; That on which the heart the mind, the memory of all beings are woven
May my mind rest in That, intent on the highest good

Just as a skilled charioteer controls his steeds with reins, so impetuous man is governed by That which dwells in the heart, agile and swiftest of all May my mind rest in That, intent on the highest good

  • I’m not of Indian decent, nor do I speak Sanskrit. But this is deeply moving to me. I also love how much it means to people of Indian heritage and to those that speak Sanskrit. ❤️🙏

    4:30 this line alone, has revolutionized my meditation. Whenever i feel torn by fleeting random subconcious thoughts interrupting me, i now imagine my higher self as a rider in command of the horse (my subconcious), steering it back onto the right track, the exact same way you'd guide or calm down an animal. In a quite literal manner of commanding and controlling your own brain, to submit to your meditation and quiet all thoughts. Not by asking, not by begging, but commanding. Because it's your body, your brain. Your higher self is in charge, and you simply just have to take charge. Previously i just had the flawed perspective of "requesting" myself to let those thoughts slip, but it never worked, the subconcious is like a wild stallion that wont listen to requests. You have to command it to obey your higher self. It has no choice but to submit, because it cannot exist without you. This is a perspective i never before thought of, even though i've understood the seperation between brain and mind. It was still this specific sentence that made me intellectually understand what mental methods to employ in order to bind the two in unison.
