Gayatri Mantra
Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayath
Let us meditate on the Om, that primal sound of God from which the three realms,
the coarse-earthly (bhur), the finer-ethereal (bhuvah) and the finest-celestial (svah) have emerged.
Let us worship (varenyam) the supreme, indescribable, divine being (tat), the creative one,
life-giving power that manifests itself in the sun (savitur).
Let us meditate (dhimahi) on the radiant light (bhargo) of God (devasya), which destroys all darkness, all ignorance, all vices.
May this (yo) light enlighten (pracodayat) our (naḥ) mind (dhiyo).

Explanation:
This relative universe as my horizon of experience is Perfect /Eternal/Fullness. That absolute, divine, all-encompassing awareness is Perfect/Eternal/Fullness. The one is conditional on the other. The two cannot be separated from each other, as both are Perfect/Eternal/Fullness.
