Salient Thought
for the Day
When our mind grows still, we find within us an unfailing source of supply.
Lines
to Memorize
"“Be still! Strain thou thy mind no more,” spoke a voice from an unseen depth:
"“Close thine eyes, they see not the true; come thou with me.”
Thus a gentle hand led me to a noiseless land.
Its cooling, scented breeze soothed all my inner anguish.
Lo! I stood before a crystal lake in whose limpid waters I saw — and I knew.
Lesson
We must be indrawn, we must learn a deeper mode of thinking, if we would establish connection with our inner Source. When we touch it, we experience a new fullness of life, a new vivid sense of realization. Some imagine that the contemplative life makes one passive and negative; but this shows that they have never had access to It. When we find the realm to which contemplation leads, all dullness vanishes and life is filled with abundant joy — enough to give to others.
Prayer
You, who watch over this universe,
Quiet my mind and heart,
And make my whole being so harmonious and peaceful
That Your glory may be manifest within me.
May I never break my connection with that Source of all bliss.
