Salient Thought
for the Day
Each of us must have a lofty ideal.
Lines
to Memorize
Those who thus understand truly My Divine birth and action are not born again on leaving their body, but they attain unto Me. Freed from attachment, fear and anger, being absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, purified by the fire of wisdom, many have attained My Being.
~Bhagavad Gita
Lesson
Our spiritual experience is not shut away from our human experience. Our daily life is closely inter-related with our spiritual life. We mingle the two by prayer and devotion to an ideal. But it is not enough to ask for material things; our prayer must be that our eye of understanding may be opened. It is necessary for us to cleanse and polish the mind. A clean mind is one of the most beneficial things we can acquire. It can become like a polished mirror, giving a perfect reflection.
Prayer
All-wise One, teach me in each task to act wisely and with understanding spirit.
Grant that I may rest wholly in Your Being,
And draw my inspiration only from You.
May I seek Your aid in the moments of perplexity,
And turn to You alone for help and guidance.
