a prayer for the day

In Sanskrit:

असतो मा सद्गमय |
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ||
मृत्योर् मा अमृतं गमय |
ॐ शांति शांति शांति ||
Transliteration:
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
Mrityorma amritamgamaya
Om shanti shanti shanti!
Translation:
Lead me from the Unreal to Real,
Lead me from Darkness to Light,
Lead me from Death to Immortality,
Oh Almighty! May there be Peace! Peace! Peace!
[Brihdaranyaka Upanisada 1:3:27]
