Quote of the day

ANSWER THE CALL OF CHRIST

 

" I am just as helpless as you, for I, as your soul, am tied in the

body with you. Unless you redeem your Self, I am caged with you. Dally

no more, groveling in the mud of suffering and ignorance. Come! bathe

in My light. "

 

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Excerpts from THE DIVINE ROMANCE (426)

 

PRAYER

 

" Divine Father, teach me to dive deep in the ocean of meditation for

the pearls of wisdom. Teach me to plunge headlong, armored with the

divine suit of conscience, that the sharks of passions may not destroy

me. If I do not find the wisdom-pearls by one or two divings, I will

not say that the sea of meditation is devoid of the pearls of Thy

wisdom. Rather teach me to find fault with my diving. Teach me to dive

again and again in meditation, deeper and deeper, until I find Thine

immortal pearls of wisdom and divine joy. "

 

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

An inspiration thought of the day August 8

Surrender to God

When someone tells me how much he has worked for God, I see the poor

quality of his spirit. Those who work for the Lord in the right way

never thinks in terms of how much they are doing for Him. Rather, they

think only of how much He is doing for them -- giving them a body

through which they can render service to others, a mind to think about

Him and His wonders, and a heart to love Him as their Father, Maker,

and sole Benefactor.
