August 4th
Salient Thought
for the Day
Tranquility never means dullness or passivity.
Lines
to Memorize
I am stillness of the night.
Perfume of the flowers am I.
Majesty of the mountains am I.
The quiet solitude of thy soul is my home.
The peace of thy heart is my rest.
Lesson
Dullness and lethargy are great obstacles in the spiritual path; but when our heart is filled with high inspiration we are never heavy or dull. We do not attain tranquility through calculation or by any material means. We attain it by finding tranquility in our soul. Stillness of heart is a great blessing. When our outer life is still, it opens up new avenues for spiritual unfoldment. That is why the practice of silence is so helpful and beneficial.
Prayer
All-loving Spirit, glorify Yourself through my life.
Fill me with Your Divine grace,
And keep me ever in peace and tranquility of mind.
Take from me all anxiety and heaviness.
May I always act and think with lightness of heart.
