Salient Thought
for the Day
Who is the wiser, the one who revels in the small details of life or the one who enjoys the fruit of life?
Lines
to Memorize
My heart sings a strange, unknown song,
But never can I hear the words.
Its music soothes my soul to rest
Yet the words remain ever unheard.
My heart sings it alone in stillness, this the wordless song.
Lesson
We have great difficulty in holding our mind on the larger view of things, but it can be done. We can bring ourselves to a stable, high point of equilibrium. It is wise to open all the avenues of our being to the universal. It gives us access to a larger life and a higher vision. There are certain things which have universal attributes, like music. Something of greater magnitude is conveyed by them. They connect us with the universal storehouse of life and knowledge.
Prayer
Lord, make my life full of divine inspiration
That it may become productive only of good.
Free me from all pettiness and narrowness.
Help me to keep my thought fixed on That which is vast and majestic.
Expand my heart and enlarge my mind
That I may be able to contain You
And give myself up wholly to You.
