Salient Thought
for the Day
Motive is the greatest factor in all our action.
Lines
to Memorize
One whose attachment is gone, who is liberated, whose mind is well-established in wisdom, who works for sacrifice alone, that one’s whole Karma (bondage) melts away . . . Thus by performing actions with the consciousness of the Supreme, he or she reaches the Supreme alone.
~Bhagavad Gita
Lesson
It is the natural thing that when there is any vacancy, God fills it. It is filled with that for which we open the channel. If we form the habit of holding wholesome, beneficial, upbuilding thought, it will act like magic in our life. There is great harm done by discordant thought; but there is no harm we cannot remedy; nothing we cannot mend. Thought when it becomes inward has such power that it can transform our life and other lives.
Prayer
You who are the Giver of all,
Give me the spirit of understanding,
That I may learn to rely on Your grace
And find my sustenance in and through You.
Abiding Spirit, surround me with Your protecting love.
Grant me greater earnestness and wisdom,
And fill my life with Your holy peace.
