2 Explanation. Rising before the world, enables looking at the world as special, sets a good tone for the day. It is an efficient use of daylight.

3 Dedication—I dedicate my life to The Way of Being (to living in this world and the ultimate as one). The Way or Means—To shared discovery and realization of the way under pure and pragmatic dimensions of experiential being in form and formation as the word. The Path—To shedding bonds of limited self so that I can see the way so clearly that even in difficulty life is flow over force—and so moving toward positive light. Summation—To realizing the ultimate in this life and beyond.

4 Affirmation and ritual reminder of identity of self and Being— “That pure unlimited consciousness—transcending all principles of form… that is supreme reality. That is the ground for the establishment of all things—and that is the essence of the universe. By That the universe lives and breathes, and That alone am I. Thus, I embody and am the universe in its ordinary and most transcendent form.” Abhinav Gupta, 10^th century philosopher and mystic of Kashmir.
