Life affords us endless opportunities for unfoldment
Lines to memorize
The stream of my life is ever flowing on;
Perchance in swift current,
Again slow and still as if stagnant,
But ever flowing on to find Thee, Thou
ocean of life and bliss,
To join its little stream with Thine uncompassed waters,
To find its wholeness in Thy Being.
Lesson
A person cannot begin to think and unfold his inner faculties without transforming everything. His speech, his thought, his action will manifest it. His life of itself will be consecrated and steadfast in purpose. Egotism and aggressiveness often blind our vision and make us miss higher opportunities. Only as we learn to draw from within are we able to make the best use of these opportunities.
Prayer
O Thou Supreme Mother of the Universe,
Reveal Thyself unto me that my mind may
be freed from all lethargy and doubt.
Lift my thoughts and prayers that I may
have access to Thy Infinite Being.
Make my heart harmonious and peaceful
That I may be ready for Thy holy Spirit
to come within me.
Swami Paramananda
