For all this we render Thee our thanks. And with the yearning of limited for unlimited experience, we once again implore Thee : Lead us out of untruth into truth; lead us out of darkness into light; lead us out of death into larger and holier life. Oh! Thou awe-inspiring One, Thou resplendant One, do Thou, in Thine inexhaustible radiance, shed the smile of Thy countenance on our craving hearts; deliver us from the fear of death; fortify us against the inroads of temptation and cherish us for ever in the embrace, of Thy loving protection. This is our humble supplication. Do Thou mercifully grant it out of Thy abundant grace.

Om! Brahma Kripahi Kevalam!

Om! Santhih! Santhih! Santhih!
