Salient Thought
for the Day
When the selfish side of our life dies away, the nobler, bigger, braver God-side will manifest itself.
Lines to Memorize
Pay no heed to voice of ego;
It is false, yea, and always out of tune.
Sing thou after the Beloved’s voice!
It is divine harmony;
It is sweet melody,
And it is perpetual peace.
Lesson
The more we can release ourselves from the bonds of slavery to fear and selfishness, the freer we shall be to enjoy the blessings of the infinitude of God. All selfishness and weakness must be washed off by the water of a new spiritual understanding. We do this through prayer, when it is earnest and sincere. By constant longing and yearning and a prayerful attitude, we create a great power within us.
Prayer
All-loving, all-beneficent Spirit!
Make my life free from all inharmony and discord,
That I may grow more conscious of Your Presence.
Purge my heart of egotism and vanity.
In the hour of prayer and at all times may I draw my strength and inspiration wholly from Your Being.
