I join my heart with the hearts of those beings,
past, present and future,
who sing Your praise, Divine ONE.
I feel the very center and core
of my heart
beat in tandem with all Creation.
I am a drop in the ocean
of consciousness.
All rivers lead to the sea.
All life praises Thee.

Align me with Your Will,
make me an excellent student,
help me to stay my mind on You,
hold me in Your GRACE.
My whole life comes from You,
and I give it back to You.

Sikhs everywhere join our hearts with Guru Arjan's heart, in united group
prayer:

"Hearing of You as our Refuge, we have come to you.
Have compassion on us that we may unite with You.
We have expelled hate, we welcome humility.
In the company of the faithful we sing Your ambrosial Name.
By pleasing You, our supreme Guru,
the devotion of Your devotees is fully fulfilled.
We are freed from all entanglements and vice
as we hear Your Name and recite Your praise.
Through compassion You bestow Your grace,
says Nanak, so we profit in our trade."
