In Maya's grip illusion transforms verity
Perceiving thus a delusive world of duality

Veil of Maya
Balance every joy with a grief
Dual scales of Maya
Earth's unending law of polarity

Ahamkara...veil of Maya

Illusion works impenetrable
Weaving webs innumerable
Her gay pictures never fail
Crowd each other veil on veil
Charmer who will be believed
By man who thirsts to be deceived
Maya subjects you

Veil of Maya
Chops and divides God's dream thoughts
The great divider
As we be subject to likes and disgust

Ahamkara...veil of Maya

Maya subjects you
Charmer who will be believed
By man who thirsts to be deceived

Veil of Maya
Balance every joy with a grief
Dual states of Maya
Earth's unending law of polarity

Veil of Maya
Chops and divides God's dream thoughts
The great divider
As we be subject to likes and disgust

Ahamkara...veil of Maya
				

As I peered into my mortal cup of mind
A moleten liquid of penance splashed my eyes

Unseen truth, a divine surgery
Reveals view, windows of faith
The breeze to a raft of happiness
Guiding cue, calmness in a mental lake

A celestial voyage
To reach the shores and bathe
In pools of divine nectar

My raft filled with delusive waste water
Shall be drained by holes of wisdom
A celestial voyage
To reach the shores and bathe
In pools of divine nectar

A celestial voyage
To feel the bliss of liquid
Healing nectar inside
				

Learning, discerning, how to arrange
Thinking the haze will just not clear
Viewing, computing, our minds will stage
A vehicle inside we feel the eagle nature

Everchanging river flows high and low
Panoramic vision is undefined

For unfocused consciousness, the eagle nature
Precaution for a stream of risk, the eagle nature
It sees changes clear

A crystal goblet so fragile and dear
Needs fill one step at a time

Noting the fall of a sparrow
Attending the slightest scratch of flesh
Earthly ambitions weigh their share
The vastness of life, it doesn't care

A crystal goblet so fragile and dear
Needs fill one step at a time

Earthly ambitions wigh their share
The vastness of life does not care
				

Cosmic mother awaken us in
Thine impartial love for all
Bless us that we be free from
The sway of greed and delusion
Inspire us to build a new world
One in which famine, disease and ignorance
Will be only memories of a dismal past

[CHORUS]
Creative mother arouse us to know
That we be not lost in the sands
Open our eyes

Creative mother arouse us to know
Inspire us to build a new world
Since forever we've yearned to
Quench what's never fulfilling
Lost endeavors found in a stilled
Mind if we be willing

[CHORUS]
				

As one I'll meet the mortal memories
Reliving seeking silence
And know that I as just a shell outside
Have sacred joys inside me

No fear, nor fight, comforting silent side
So free, through flight, comforting silence

[CHORUS]
So I call on
Sri cosmic sea, all is within you
As in a dream, I'm but a wave to...

Infinity within thy consciousness
An ever expanding sphere
Immortal spark ignites
Spreads by the air of bliss
Embracing warmth that heals

No fear, nor fight, comforting silence
So free, through flight, comforting silent side

[CHORUS]
				

Self is the universe, not separate
The state before the fall into self consciousness

Nothing is himeself, everything is world

[CHORUS]
Primordial egg returns
Consciousness unborn
Pre-personal perfection
Bliss's scree yet untorn
Uroboric forms

Find itself as a separate entity
An ego germ is just beginning to be

Wherever there is other, there is fear

Birth, primal paradise
No gap distance or separation
Between self and environment
Unconditional omnipotence

Nothing is himself, everything is world

[CHORUS]

Consciousness unborn
Uroboric forms
				

[Instrumental]
				

How could I forget such a revelation
To love without fear and learn without question
How could I regret the meant occasions
I must begin this day again

Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe

How could I

Humility take charge of me
Drown me in truth's modest waters
Loosen your grip identity
Free me from an ego's falter

Love too often is only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
Must I try? How could I?

Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe

Love's too often only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
For in this spewing cavern of pride
How could I!

I long to live with some celestial beings
to adore in silence blissful friends
gliding into constellations of their smiles
melting into shining eyes

chant away
the cosmos grace
born inside the lotus gold

to be at the feet of celestial artists
close to the brush of their cosmic strokes
churning whispers into melodies of psalm
in timeless rhythms, blessed tones

chant away
the cosmos grace
born inside the lotus gold

I can live this revelation
with magnified devotion
magnified devotion
magnified devotion...

"Divine mother
Free my mind from all obstacles of delusion
And lead me safely to thy shores of fulfillment
Awaken within me increasing strength, positive thinking, courage, faith
And above all fill my heart
With thine unconditional love
With thine unconditional joy"

{This is a prayer by Paramahansa Yogananda, taken from a Sri Daya Mata
lecture, president of the Self Realization Fellowship}


    solo: Paul

I want to be closer to higher beings
near to touch those divine companions
gathering joyfully from the nether world
as I go through the portal's fold

I am winter dormant in my solitude
You are spring alive and with new growth
I am summer burning in my beatitude
You are fall shedding leaves grown old

Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone

I am petals found in frail wayside flowers
You are wind blowing bare open
I am sunlight showering the rays of play
You are sand soft yet hard as stone

Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone

Merging with the land now
With all things
And all the beings
Knowing I am one now
With my vision
With all the feeling

I am Winter, you are Spring
I am petals, you are wind

Faith fills my inner space
Clears my circle's place
Turns me inside out
Moves away my doubt

Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone

Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone

I have long been fashioning
an inner world of obstacles
between thee and me
shuttered huts of discouragement
barbed wire fences of habit
stone walls of indifference
mountains of indolence
and oceans of unfaithfulness

I'll plant a seed beneath my feet
someday
and breathe into it energy
someday
I'll firm its' soil with a dance
and pray the sky will shine its' lamp
I'll water it with heartfelt love and
someday, I'll awake...

I'll pack a bag beneath the stars
when someday comes
and grip it when the missiles charge
when someday comes
I'll tend to it with utmost care
and open it when I can share
a slavery to its' perfection
someday, I'll awake...

I'll cry because I have the faith
that man can change his ugly ways
I'll throwaway the bag and seed
for no one owns what we all need
I'll begin, without, within
searching, seeking, seeing
endless endeavors
