THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Service, in all its forms, wherever undertaken, is essentially spiritual discipline; a form of mental clean-up. If one does not consider service thus, the urge to serve is bound to ebb and grow dry, or it may meander into pride and pomp. Just think for a moment - are you serving God or is God serving you? When you offer milk to a hungry child, or a blanket to a shivering brother on the pavement, you are but placing a gift of God, into the hands of another gift of God! You are reposing the gift of God in a repository of the Divine Principle! Always remember - God serves! And He allows you to claim that you have served! Without His will, not even a single blade of grass can quiver in the breeze. Fill every moment with gratitude to the Giver and the Recipient of all gifts!

Yesterday's thought
 
Date: Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Do not be upset by calamities, instead take them as acts of Grace. If someone loses a hand in an accident, that person must believe that it was the Lord's Grace that saved his or her life. When you believe that nothing can happen without His resolve, you will realize that everything that occurs in your life, has a value added to it. You may be neglecting a creeper in your backyard, but if a sage passes by and says that it is a rare drug that can cure one from snake bite, you will erect a fence around it and not allow children to pluck its leaves even for fun, is it not? Understand thoroughly that the Lord is the cause, the source of all. And with this knowledge, deal with everyone in a humble and reverent manner. This is the path that will lead you quickly to the goal.
