Salient Thought
for the Day
We must find the way of access to happiness.
Lines
to Memorize
When Thou art near me, time puts on wings and flies speedily;
Space melts into nothingness and my life’s cares are forgot.
Yea, Thou hast thrown a magic aura around me —
I forget myself so wholly when I am near Thee.
Oh, how my soul delights in this total self-oblivion!
Lesson
We hold the key to happiness in our own hand. Whenever we desire, we can open the door and enter into the storehouse of joy, inspiration and strength. Our thought can make us unhappy or it can expand our whole life and fill it with radiant joy. The one who brings a real picture of joy and exuberance is a true benefactor. It shows that one has found access to the realm of happiness. When we cease to run after passing things and seek within, we never fail to find joy. Then whatever we touch, it blossoms.
Prayer
Compassionate Spirit, who abides within me as peace and bliss,
I pray to You to make Your radiance manifest in my heart and life.
Bestow upon me a sense of prayerfulness and gladness,
That in the dark hours I may still remain grateful for Your unfailing blessing.
