Salient Thought
for the Day
Our whole nature is built of the thoughts we hold in our minds.
Lines
to Memorize
Therefore, at all times, think of Me and fight (perform actions). Having offered your mind and intellect to me, you shall without doubt come unto Me.
~Bhagavad Gita
Lesson
If we think of holy things, we become holy. If our heart is always filled with love, no hatred can penetrate; nothing can mar our peace and tranquility. But the law works the other way also. If we are careless and let alien thoughts persist, they will change our nature. Whenever we criticize anyone or find fault with anyone or think evil of anyone, that evil comes to us. By dwelling on a saintly character we become saintly. That picture of saintliness will inspire us, throw light on our path and transform our nature.
Prayer
I open my heart, my mind, all the avenues of my soul,
That I may feel Your presence, blessed Infinite One.
May my life be in tune with Your great abiding Spirit;
May my heart sing supplications to You.
May my spirit surrender to You with understanding and devotion.
