असतो मा सद्गमय तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय
asato maa sadgamaya, tamaso maa jyotirgamaya, mrtyorma amrtam gamaya
A wonderful rendition with accurate vedic chanting from Ravi Shankar and George Harrison is provided here if you care to listen... post script; some may have difficulty getting the soundtrack to work - if so do please use THIS LINK. For those who cannot make out the script at bottom of image - this is in Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, where I spent a little over two years and that is a life-size sculpture of Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda. The shloka above is of course directed to the Higher - but can also be addressed to the mahatma, the 'Godman', who is physically before us and can help us rise from where we are now.
asato maa sadgamaya, tamaso maa jyotirgamaya, mrtyorma amrtam gamaya
From delusion lead me to truth;
from darkness lead me to light;
from death lead me to immortality.
