மனதில் உறுதி வேண்டும்.
வாக்கினிலே இனிமை வேண்டும்.
நினைவு நல்லது வேண்டும்.
நெருங்கின பொருள் கைப்பட வேண்டும்.
கனவு மெய்ப்பட வேண்டும்.
கைவசம் ஆவது விரைவில் வேண்டும்.
தனமும் இன்பமும் வேண்டும்.
தரணியிலே பெருமை வேண்டும்.
கண் திறந்திட வேண்டும்.
காரியத்தில் உறுதி வேண்டும்.
பெண் விடுதலை வேண்டும்.
பெரிய கடவுள் காக்க வேண்டும்.
மண் பயனுற வேண்டும்.
வானகம் இங்கு தென்பட வேண்டும்.
உண்மை நின்றிட வேண்டும்.
ஓம். ஓம். ஓம். ஓம்.
Strength, Focus and Determination;
in my mind and body, I should have.
I need right words to speak, at the right time, in the right place.
I should think right thoughts;
I should ask questions and learn how to ask;
I do the right action.
I introspect my words, actions, my thoughts; so that
I learn from my mistakes.
What I would like to get,
I should get through my effort (action/word/thought).
My good dreams should come true,
through daily practice and effort.
The real wealth, joy and peace; I should have.
Fame in this world, I should have and
Peace in my mind, I should have.
I should be aware, awake every moment When I am awake.
My actions should be right and firm.
Women and men are equal; and
I should respect every woman, man and all life beings.
The omnipresent truth should always protect.
The soil should be fertile; as
all living beings live because of food.
I should be in peace with myself, family, society and environment.
I am one with space, air, fire, water and sand; as
the food I eat to maintain this body is made of the five basic elements.
The truth always wins and stands out;
I speak truth, I think truth, I act in accordance with truth;
Peace. Peace. Peace. Peace.
