You needn't be a monk or nun,
To lead a spiritual life,
You can be part of society,
Take a husband or wife;
What is needed is spiritual discipline,
Having time for meditation and prayer,
This spread throughout the day,
Allows God to take away every care.
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream, of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” BUDDHA.
God, I love You in so many ways,
God, I thank You for all of my days,
God, I thank You for all that You do,
God, I thank You for what comes into view;
God, I thank You for this life,
God, I thank You for keeping my spirit bright,
God, I thank You for everything,
And God, may I love You with all my might.
“Within is the wellspring of God; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.” MARCUS AURELIUS.
Dearest lovely God,
Maker, Creator, Supreme,
Thank you for everything,
May I on You I happily live and dream;
May I be full of gratitude,
Full of Your joy,
Passing it on,
To every girl and boy.
"Hatred does not cease by hatred; hatred ceases by love. This is the eternal love." The DHAMMAPADA.
Patience is a virtue,
A saying old and wise,
A very truthful saying,
I now realise;
But I was never patient,
My mind was always on the go,
It's only when I started to meditate,
That I started to control my mind and ego.
"The secret to happiness. Be satisfied and be grateful." MITCH ALBOM.
