Salient Thought
for the Day
The wise find their peace through renunciation.
Lines
to Memorize
I can speak no more for all sounds are harsh and dissonant since I heard Thy unbroken harmony. . .
Thy gentle note was drowned in this world’s gross tumult;
But now my ears have grown deaf to all other sounds save Thine.
Lesson
The light of wisdom teaches self-detachment— detachment from the petty details of life. This is true renunciation. We must never forget our connection with Divinity. We all want something that will make our life more complete, but this does not mean the acquisition of things. The wise pray: “Make my life more beautiful, more fruitful, more productive of good.” The one who gives up always finds something of greater value.
Prayer
O Giver of all good, open my mind, my heart, my whole being to Your higher gift.
You alone can bestow what I need to make my life complete.
You are the embodiment of all loveliness and blessedness.
You are the beginning, You are the end;
You are all there is.
May I rest my life in Your Divine Life.
