Salient Thought
for the Day
Manifest Divine wisdom in your daily life.
Lines
to Memorize
Dangerous are the senses, they even carry away forcibly the mind of a discriminative person who is striving for perfection. Those of steady wisdom, having subdued them all (senses), becomes fixed in Me, the Supreme. Their wisdom is well-established whose senses are under control.
~Bhagavad Gita
Lesson
Chaos rises when all our lower instincts become uppermost. They distort the mind and poison the whole system. The ways of the mind are countless. Every thought and deed causes a ripple or a wave in the mind-stuff. The most harmful ones we recognize as anger, hatred, jealousy. They are counteracted by waves of love, generosity, patience and unselfishness.
Prayer
Lord, make me so strong and resolute in the spiritual path
That I may never follow my lower instincts
Or yield to the promptings of the senses.
May I manifest Your wisdom in my daily life,
And show forth Your love in all my service.
May I never give way to anger or hatred.
May my mind dwell in holy thought,
And my heart rest in Your infinite heart.
