Salient Thought for the Day.

Pray that you may be saved from the onslaughts of ego.

Lines to Memorize.

Good and ill, pleasure and pain,

And all the conflict of dual life

Fade before the constant sun

This Sun of Truth, life of the mystic soul,

His unending joy and unfailing peace!

Lesson.

When a person yields to selfish impulses, it shatters his moral fibre and weakens him; then the ego overcomes him. Great power is working. Each one can be a pure channel for it, a clear ready channel, if the spirit is right. Also if the spirit is not right and the ego is uppermost, you can hinder that mighty power. The first act is to cleanse your heart of vanity, pride and selfishness. You must keep your inner atmosphere fragrant with holy thought.

Prayer.

I lift my inmost thoughts and feelings to That One from whom comes all my strength and all my blessing.

May my heart and mind be single and one-pointed in their aspiration and service to Him.

May I never yield to selfishness or harshness.

May the blessing of the Supreme infill my life.
