Daily spiritual actions,
That are regular,
Allow the spirit to shine,
Like a beautiful shining star;
It is of vital importance,
To do some each day,
It helps us realise,
That we're all on God’s lovely Highway.
"I hold three treasures close to my heart. The first is love, the next simplicity and the third overcoming ego." LAO TZU.
The more we're humble,
The less we grumble,
The more we're filled with gratitude,
The more we have a pleasant attitude:
The more love we give out,
The less we scream and shout,
In fact the more we do for others,
The more we realise we are all brothers.
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” ECCLESIASTES. 3 (1-8)
When I look back at the troubles in my life,
From many of which I wanted to flee,
I now realise that they were all there,
To bring me closer to Thee;
For when everything else did fail,
I cried out in pain,
I started to be more humble,
And a new God centred life gain.
"Without heart, everything else counts for nought. Unless the heart expands nothing else will avail." SWAMI AKHANDANANDA.
If I want to longer last,
I must have an occasional fast,
Although I love eating food,
I must have fasting interludes;
They will keep my body strong,
Happy, healthy and fit,
I should only eat enough,
But enjoy and be grateful for every bit.
"Nothing can dim the light which shines from within." MAYA ANGELOU.
