Salient Thought
for the Day
We cannot be absorbed by the material and enjoy the spiritual.
Lines
to Memorize
Verily, Thou art self-luminous — all is lighted up by Thy Presence!
The paths of my inner and outer life lie clear before me;
I need no other light to find my way out to Thee.
I shall carry no light save one — the lamp of Thy grace.
Lesson
A person whose faculties are all active on the outside is ever bound. It indicates a great sense of poverty to go outside for everything. A wise person, when things go wrong, turns within. If a blow falls, the wise do not take it, but withdraw themselves from it. A person of small nature, who lives in the outside world, goes out to meet the blow and strikes back.
Prayer
May I seek only that which is uplifting;
May all my thoughts, words and actions manifest Divinity.
Guard me from all selfishness and harshness.
Make me gentle and loving.
Bless my life and give it power and strength for Your service.
Fill my heart with Your peace and Your blessing.
