Salient Thought
for the Day
The weight of the world falls on those who throw their weight on the world.
Lines
to Memorize
Thou hast shielded me by Thy protecting love.
Now I depend on Thee, nay, I cannot live without Thee.
I crave no other blessing than Thy benign Presence.
Lesson
Our happiness depends on the happiness of others. We should expand our little nature. There is no such thing as selfish happiness in political life; there is no such thing as selfish happiness in social life; there is no such thing as selfish happiness in spiritual life. Unhappiness means that we close our hearts to the higher avenues of true joy. True happiness is contained in the Infinite and Eternal.
Prayer
Divine Spirit, protect me from selfishness and pettiness.
May I never yield to dejection or discontent.
Grant me brightness of spirit and cheerfulness.
May I find all my happiness in You, not in the things of this world.
Bestow Your peace and blessing upon my life.
