This body is but a container,
One day it will be spent,
The spirit will have left,
It will be as empty as a tent;
So I must use this lifetime wisely,
To look for the inner light,
The purpose for living,
And radiate God's love so bright.
“It’s no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is a great thing and rare thing.” St. BERNARD of CLAIRVAUX.
Dearest lovely God,
May I radiate your love and light,
Like the sun's beautiful rays,
Making everything nice and bright;
The colours of your sunset,
One of your wonderful works of art,
A sight that does inspire,
And brings joy to the heart.
“Who sees the self becomes the self.” KATHA UPANISHAD.
Dear lovely God,
On You may I concentrate,
For You are the ultimate,
The ever loving mate;
For You are my core,
You provide all,
Dear lovely God,
May You I always recall.
"BY the practice of meditation, the Master said, 'You will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise." YOGANANDA.
Everyone looks for happiness,
We think it can be found in the world,
It's a mistake people often make,
In this respect I certainly erred;
But beyond the world and its trappings,
Is God our Supreme Creator,
Look to Him/Her for refuge,
Our wonderful God and Maker.
"Make others happy. You will be really happy." SIVANANDA.
