Salient Thought
for the Day
Only as we live in the soul-principle ourselves, can we convince another.
Lines
to Memorize
Thy sweet perfume hath spoken to my soul its language of love.
Spirit of rose, teach me more of thy subtle and wondrous ways of love;
I am thine ignorant brother, stranger to this new world of thine.
Lesson
We cannot help anyone, unless we have faith and fervor in our own hearts. If we have any doubts about anything, our words will not carry conviction because we have not convinced ourselves. If we talk of the power of love, we convince through loving. But if we have any hatred in our hearts, or are slaves to anger and jealousy, what we say will have little effect. We impart moral principles through our action and by the way we serve.
Prayer
Supreme Goal of the universe,
You are the abiding and sustaining life-principle within my soul.
May I never be unmindful of Your Presence.
At every step may Your guiding hand lead me.
May I think only as You make me to think.
May I speak only as You make me to speak.
May I act only as You make me to act.
