Salient Thought
for the Day
Selfless devotion to an ideal plays a vital part in the spiritual life.
Lines
to Memorize
Freely am I bound to Thee,
Freely do I remain bound,
For Thou hast poured upon me Thine unbounded love unasked —
Unasked will I make my offering unto Thee.
Lesson
Try to cultivate the true spirit of discipleship. The world is so full of teachers — everyone wants to be a master; but the spirit of discipleship is indeed very rare. Going through the form of discipleship, however, is not everything. We must stir ourselves up. We must never go to sleep. It is too hard to awaken oneself.
Prayer
All-wise One, bestow on my heart the blessing of humility,
That I may learn joyfully the lessons that come to me through this day.
Keep me fearless and steadfast in my devotion to the Ideal.
May I never fail in my loyalty to it.
May I fasten my life to Your infinite life,
And forget myself wholly in my service to You.
