1
(Psalm 71)In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.
2
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.
3
Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.
4
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: [Thou art] my trust from my youth.
6
By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother`s bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.
7
I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.
8
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.
9
Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10
For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
11
Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
12
O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
13
Let them be put to shame [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14
But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.
15
My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, [And] of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers [thereof].
16
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18
Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
19
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?
20
Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21
Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.
22
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [Even] thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23
My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.

There must be love in the relation between the person who says "I am" and the observer of that "I am". As long as the observer, the inner self, the higher self, considers himself apart from the observed, the lower self, despises it and condemns it, the situation is hopeless. It is only when the observer (vyakta) accepts the person (vyakti) as a projection or manifestation of himself and, so to say, takes the self into the Self, the duality of "I" and "this" goes, and in the identity of the outer and the inner the Supreme Reality manifests itself. This union of the seer and the seen happens when the seer becomes conscious of himself as the seer; he is not merely interested in the seen, which he is anyhow, but also interested in being interested, giving attention to attention, aware of being aware. Affectionate awareness is the crucial factor that brings Reality into focus. When the vyakti realizes its non-existence in separation from the vyakta, and the vyakta sees the vyakti as his own expression, then the peace and silence of the avyakta state come into being. In reality the three are one: the vyakta and the avyakta are inseparable, while the vyakti is the sensing-feeling-thinking process.
