Salient Thought
for the Day
When we reach the threshold of God, of Truth, then alone do we know true joy.
Lines
to Memorize
Love of the physical will pass
As all passing things must follow their course;
But love of the spiritual will never wane nor die.
Lesson
We are not satisfied; not even when we build an empire. We are always longing for something deeper, more complete. This we do not find in the outer world. It is deep down in us. We never find any real happiness or the real source of strength until we are able to go down within our own soul. That is where we find God and Divinity. Our possessions, our friends, fail us often; but God who abides within us and who knows our heart never fails us. True joy cannot rest on material conditions; it is found only in Infinitude.
Prayer
Lord, You are the goal of my existence,
You are the refuge for all souls.
Arouse in me true yearning,
That through its force I may gain such power of penetration
That I may perceive You in the midst of all things.
Make my heart sincere, and my prayer simple and fervent.
You are the embodiment of all blessedness.
Grant unto me Your loving protection.
