Salient Thought
for the Day
It is not on the outside we must seek our Source.
Lines
to Memorize
The Infinite speaketh to us through earth and water, rock and river, beast and bird, tree and flower;
Through all! Through all!
At dawn It speaketh to our soul
Through the rays of the rising sun.
Lesson
We are like thirsty souls running away from a spring of fresh water. We run away from that which would bring us what we are seeking. We wonder why we have miseries; we blame others. But there cannot be any misery or discontent without an inner cause. The cause is always inward. Misery comes because we do not listen to the voice within. We must not be content with mere theory. We must find the way of carrying out our ideals.
Prayer
May my heart be freed from all blemish of material desire.
May I cease all longing for the ephemeral and the changing.
Infinite and Eternal One, fill my being with greater longing for union with You.
Help me love and serve You with humble, worthy spirit.
