Please read Instructions for Using the Mantra from The Teachings of Inner Ramana and contemplate it with your inner teacher. Follow inner prompting regarding the best way to contemplate the reading with the inner teacher. If you don’t feel a specific prompt, ask the inner teacher to share whatever is most important for you to know, see or realize regarding this message.
If prompted, review the tip from Day 298.
For the remainder of Year 2, use each day’s Thought of Awakening as a prayer that you return to throughout the day in order to remain in a state of devotion.
~342~
The mind wills to wander,
but the Heart remains
as always
constant.
Let the mind stay focused with the Heart.
Let it not be like a separate being
wandering apart and lost.
Let the mind be Home,
focused on the Heart,
centered and one with it.
This is its truth.
Let it not deny reality
by thinking and wandering as if alone
separate from the loving and peaceful existence
that is its Source.
Amen.
~A prayer of awakening
