They say a lit candle,
Can light a thousand others,
It also shows we’re all united,
All a band of brothers;
By being always grateful,
Sincere and humble,
It allows our spirit to be bright,
So we can help others that fall or stumble.
“Thousands can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” BUDDHA.
I was a football fan and player,
At times I even did manage,
There were ups and downs,
I sometimes caused damage;
However, one day I again lost the plot,
I know my ego was a self-centred and mean,
I then asked God humbly for help,
And since then I sleep and happily dream.
“The tourist complains-the pilgrim gives thanks.” UNKNOWN.
Of God, I am a part,
He's there in the realms of my heart,
For years I did life on my own,
I was afraid and often alone;
Even when I was with somebody,
I often felt isolated,
But now through God's love,
I realise to the whole world I am related.
"Men cannot live without joy, therefore when he is depressed of true spiritual joys it is necessary that he become addicted to carnal pleasures." THOMAS AQUINAS.
The mind is ever moving,
Always looking for the easy way,
The path of pleasure,
It seeks every day;
It is hard to discipline,
To bring it under control,
Prayer is certainly needed,
Otherwise ill-discipline will take its toll.
"Your duty is to treat everyone, with love, as a manifestation of the Lord." SIVANANDA.
