Prayer Before Meditation
From the June 2002 Daily Meditator
Teach me, O Spirit, by meditation, to stop the storm of breath, mental restlessness and
sensory disturbances raging in the lake of my mind. Let the magic wand of my intuition
stop the gale of passions and unnecessary desires, and in the rippleless lake of my
mind let me behold the undistorted reflection of the moon of my soul, glistening with the
light of Thy presence.
