Salient Thought
for the Day
If we are really free and awakened, no one can interfere with our freedom or peace.
Lines
to Memorize
When soul’s effulgent light shines forth
Troubles are no more.
Petty worries, fears and all our endless cares
Are no more, are no more,
When soul’s effulgent light shines forth.
Lesson
When we are loving and exuberant, we are not humiliated by anything. It is when our heart is full of harsh feelings that we feel humiliation. A person who is really free never feels harshness, and is never disturbed by outer conditions. What we have or what we have not makes very little difference. The foundation of our happiness rests upon our nobility, our strength and our aspiration. When all our mind and heart are in a state of tranquility, evil will not find any place in our consciousness and we shall not strike any discordant note in our dealings with others.
Prayer
Bestow upon me inward freedom, Lord.
You are all-merciful;
May Your mercy save me from the bondage of selfishness and ignorance.
Make my aspiration so earnest
That it will carry me to Your blessed feet.
May I never seek elsewhere my joy or peace or safety.
