All through the ages,
People have fasted too,
Buddha, Jesus, Krishna,
To name just a few;
What was their aim,
But to become closer to God,
So give a cheer for fasting,
Don’t think it slightly odd.
“Even as a man casts off worn- out clothes, and puts on others which are new, so the embodied casts off worn-out bodies, and enters into others which are new.” BHAGAVAD GITA.. 2.2
When I buy a writing book,
With pages all blank,
The money to buy it,
God I do thank;
I realise that everything I write,
Is written with His aid,
And that with His love and help,
True happiness is made.
“Try to see God in all faces.” SIVANANDA.
For a mind to be peaceful,
Calm, serene and still,
It's best to daily surrender,
To God's beautiful will;
It certainly makes for an easier life,
But it took me a long time for this to learn,
That it's only by asking daily for God's help,
That we get the peace we yearn.
"A healthy attitude is contageous; let others catch it. CHARLES F.GLASSMAN.
God gives us free-will,
With Him I should liase,
But I didn't do this,
Him I didn't praise;
For years I only thought of me,
And what I could obtain,
Until one day I had to acknowledge His existence,
And a spiritual life gain.
"One religion is as true as another." ROBERT BURTON.
