Man's First Duty

Getting up from bed one should extol Vishnu, who is the Lord of the whole universe, the Supreme Deity, the Eternal and Ideal Being. He who always offers praises to Him, who is the Supreme Lord and Ruler of the Universe, and who is all-pervading, unborn and imperishable, gets rid of all troubles. He is the brightest of all effulgent beings and the most austere of all austere penances. He is the greatest of the great and the most hospitable refuge of all creatures. He is the purest of the pure, the most sacrosanct of all that is sacred, the most auspicious of all that is auspicious, the godliest of all gods and the undying father of all created beings.    ...   Vishnusahasranama.
