APPENDIX PRAYER A — SPECIMEN DEFINEDPRAYERSMidst Thy circling power I stand,On every side I find Thy hand,Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,I am surrounded still with God.Let these thoughts possess my breastWherever I roam, wherever I rest,Let not my weaker passions dareConsent to sin, for God is there.PRAYERS FROM VARIOUS RELIGIONSFrom Hindu ScripturesOm: The Thousand-headed Purusha, thousand-eyed,thousand-footed, even He, encompassingthe Universe on all sides, remainedover tn fingers in extent. Purusha alone is allthis, that which has been and that which is tobe. Moreover, He is the Director of immortality;and hence manifests Himself as the Universeevolving by means of food. Of this magnitudeis His greatness, even greater than this isPurusha. One fourth of Him forms all createdthings, the Immortal three fourths are in theregions above.One God sits hidden in every creature,pervading all, the Inmost Self of all beings, theWatcher over all acts, abiding in all createdthings, the Witness, the Heart, the Absolute, Freeof all attributes.163
