Salient Thought
for the Day
Try to do everything humbly and with the utmost simplicity.
Lines to Memorize
O Thou Infinite Life, dost Thou count even a lowly grain of dust as Thine own?
For this revelation my heart is speechless!
Lesson
In the spiritual life there cannot be anything calculated. In the realm of religion, we thrive better when we cultivate the quality of simplicity, of honesty. We must be like little children. When real humility dawns in our heart through the realization of the infinitude of God, we realize our relation with that infinitude and our finite nature fades into insignificance. Our dependence on material things, our egotism, our self-importance dwindles into nothingness and we taste true happiness.
Prayer
Infinite Being, I lay myself humbly at Your blessed feet.
Without You I can do nothing,
But with You all things are possible.
Direct my life and thought;
Lead me by Your gentle hand.
Fix my mind and heart on You
And may I find all my happiness and peace in You alone.
