Salient Thought
for the Day
Selfless devotion unlocks the hidden door of the innermost shrine.
Lines
to Memorize
Prepare for His coming;
Weave a garland for the Beloved,
Gathering all the sweet flowers from thy inner garden.
Hast thou not raised these cherished blossoms to please Him?
They are fragrant with thy love.
Lover, in excess of longing forget not the garland.
Lesson
There is an outpouring of the soul, and in that outpouring there is a language unfamiliar to outer ears, but there are moments when this unfamiliar note brings great solace. We may utter beautiful prayers, but unless we are tuned in the same rhythm, they will have no power. Our heart will remain cold and unmoved. There is a great strength in prayerful devotion. When our yearning soul prays with yearning voice from the depths of our heart, we cannot fail to reach the Lord and bring rich blessing.
Prayer
Holy One, make me so pure and untouched by the world
That I shall be worthy to enter Your Divine sanctuary and lay my love and devotion at Your blessed feet.
May my life be as a fragrant flower, offering its sweetness unceasingly to You.
