Carried
The mantra
Tvameva Mātā Cha Pitā Tvameva Tvameva Bandhush Cha Sakhā Tvameva Tvameva Vidyā Dravinam Tvameva Tvameva Sarvam Mama Deva Deva
What it means
You alone are my mother and my father; you alone are my kin and my friend; you alone are my knowledge and my wealth; you are my everything, my God of gods.

Why this one, at this hour
The last mantra of the night is the first truth of the day: you wake not alone in a room but held — as a child wakes in arms that carried her all night without her knowing. Mother, father, friend, knowledge, wealth: everything the night was, was one thing, and this verse finally names it. The flute plays its three notes openly now, resolved at last. They were the melody all along.
How to use it tonight
Lie down. Play it once at low volume, close enough to hear the words without straining. Say the mantra silently with the voice for as long as it is easy, then let it say itself. When the whispered line comes, do not repeat it — let it be planted. The album runs in order across the night; if you fall asleep before the end, that is the intended outcome.
The whispered line
“I was carried all night; I am carried now”
