    To deny and rejecf our body-sense and to assert our Divine Essence, to seek our atonement with The Lord of our heart, is the supreme climax of all true prayers. By rituals, through chanting and singing, through surrender and love, through dedication and prostration, we learn to give up our lesser nature and assert our nobler and diviner possibilities. By this process of invocation we experience a new expansion-at first in passing moments, and soon enough such moments

    sciousness in us. To deny and rejecf our body-sense and to


    assert our Divine Essence, to seek our atonement with the
    Lord of our heart, is the supreme climax of all true prayers.
    ft is not to ask, to beg for, or to wish to gain something that
    is the destination of prayer-as \ /e have just {ound, player
    is an invocation-an attempt to call up to express-the higher
    in us. By rituals, through chanting and singing, through
    surrender and love, through dedication and prostration,
    through congregational prayers in specially dedicated sanc-
    tified Temples of God, we learn to give up our lesser nature
    and assert our nobler and diviner possibilities. By this pro-
    cess of invocation we experience a new expansion-at first
    in passing moments, and soon enough such moments come
    to stay with us, rerninding us of our true nature, reviving
    us from alt our inner conflicts, leading us into an ampler field
    of fuller satisfaction in life.
    Now close your eyes-relax your muscles-smile in joy-
    ous abandon in your mind-and listen-
    Asangoham Asangoham Asangoham Punah, Punah-
    S atchitananda Ro dpoham Ah,amez,ah,amavy ay a.
    Unattached am I with my body, unattached am I
    with my mind,
    Unattached am I with my intellect, again and
    again-
    I am of the nature of Pure Consciousness. the
    Awareness Divine.
    Asang oh,am Asang oh,am Asang oham P unah P unah,-
    S atchitananda Roopoh,am Ahumeu ahamau y ay 0,.

    (MAHABHARATA; continuedlront Page20)

    The Mahabharata, therefore, is not a mere story of a war


    fought between two armies. It picturizes an everlasting cos-
    mic drama. wherein men and women are actors and actresses
    . taking sides in the conflict between right and wrong, between
    good and evil, between justice and injustice, and playing
    their own appointed parts. However, the sum and substance
    of the epic is that man's real friend and his real enemy
    are both within him, not outside. They are his higher evolu-
    tionary tendency and his insatiable desire for sense-gratifica-
    tion. The Lord advises man to fight and conquer this great
    enemy of his and thus regain his lost glory, the pure Self-
    the Krishna-Consciousness within.
