Our Father who Art in Heaven hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
(And) Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever and ever
Amen

Oh Mother, who subsists in all the three Kaalas (Time: Past, Present and Future), in all the three lokas (Lokas: Heaven, Earth and Lower Regions) and in all the three gunas (Gunas – Attributes: Sathwa, Rajas and Thamas).
I pray to Thee, to illumine my intellect and dispel my ignorance just as the splendorous sunlight dispels all darkness.
I pray to Thee to make my intellect serene and bright and enlightened.

Thannassarvah Prachodayaath
I know through Gurus and Shastras (and by direct experience) that Sai is God Himself: He is Bhagawan and Iswara.
I meditate on this form in my heart with all my mental faculties. He is the embodiment of truth, divinity, universal consciousness and one who pervades all the worlds.
I pray to such a Sai to direct our intellects to engage in auspicious and righteous activities.
I meditate on this great form.

Righteousness is the best good (and it) is happiness. Happiness(is) to him, who is righteous, for the sake of the best righteousness.
