Like the butter hidden in the cream, Pure Consciousness resides in every being. It is to be constantly
churned, with the mind as the churning rod. Knowledge of the self is gained through meditation

Meaning of r cinmaya rati

Salutations unto Sri Chinmaya the best among the teachers
Whose divine form is the incarnation of compassion
Salutations unto the best among the teachers
His feet are the abode of peace
He removed delusion of those who took refuge in Him
And destroyed their sin, pain and sorrow
Singing the glories of Vedas, Upanishads and Geeta
He re-awakened the ancient Sanatana Dharma
Through pure service he pleased Lord Sankara
At Siddhabari, the abode of penance
Our noble teacher flourishes eternally
As a source of joy in the hearts of devotees
