Salient Thought
for the Day
Practice humility. Never try to get ahead of anyone.
Lines to Memorize
Thou Divine messenger,
Friend of the lowly,
Dwell Thou with me in my heart.
Be it in poverty or in wealth,
Be it in pomp or pain,
Be it in darkness or in light,
Do Thou dwell in my heart as my friend and guide.
Lesson
The spiritual life can become very living. When our life moves along avenues of humility and simplicity, we are healthier and happier. That which represents simplicity, with order and tidiness, that is the best way and that is the spiritual way. Not by strain and struggle, not by aggressiveness and self-assertion can we approach Truth. It comes to those who are humble and surrendered.
Prayer
In prayer I lift my heart to You, the Infinite.
Free it from all unkindness and unloveliness.
Fill it with Your love, leaving room for nothing else.
May I serve all Your children with humility and unselfishness
And shed forth Your light at every step.
