Please read The Circus and the Meadow 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 299.
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.

Today let me have strict abidance
in the Heart, Within,
listening and following
and not thinking.
I ask for strict abidance
because I know and do not deny
the ego’s ability to distract attention
to the world of form,
away from the Heart
and inner awareness.
I choose to remain firm
in remembrance of what I want.
I ask for strict abidance,
that I may remember
I do not want to be distracted
away from inner attention
on Self.
Amen.
~A prayer of awakening
