August 5th
Salient Thought
for the Day
Only when the turbulences of self cease, do we have the peace and tranquility which are absolutely needful for spiritual vision.
Lines
to Memorize
The touch of Thy holy hand is my sole adornment.
A glance from Thy smiling eyes hath poured upon me a shower of countless blossoms.
Now I gather these scattered flowers day and night with ecstatic joy,
For they bear the blessing of Thy divine fragrance.
Lesson
If we have the courage to give ourselves wholly to Truth, what will happen? This question will not rise. There will be no more questioning or calculation. We shall possess the most inspiring, most sustaining vision; and Divinity will become a reality to us. A new vision is born from within. Our whole life is filled with it. Suppose we lose our vision. Instead of giving way to dejection, let us close our eyes and fix our gaze on something within. That will lift our blindness and restore our spiritual sight.
Prayer
Merciful One, bless me that I may never bar the stream of Your love and wisdom in my heart.
May it flow freely and wash away all petty selfish thoughts.
And may I never fail to keep my gaze fixed on You.
