Sep 22 | THE SKELETON | Daily Divine Digest

Almost all have seen the human skeleton. If it were to tell its autobiography it would impress effectively on man's mind. Life on earth is evanescent. The born one may die at any moment. Remembrance of this fact would tone down many an impetuosity in life. A balanced outlook would be the result.

Indulgent living is wrong. Restrained living is right. Thought of the welfare of the others must dominate over the thought of self-interest. Right living causes the least hindrance to the others and the maximum good to all.

Sep 07 | DEVOTION | Daily Divine Digest

Expectation of a reward and the practice of devotion do not co-exist. Devotion expresses itself in the form of service. No work done for the Lord is felt hard or tiresome.

A man sincere to his ideal does not seek recognition. In obscurity he is all earnestness and labour. Ostentation is absent in him. Love of show is the opposite of sincerity. Nothing can tempt and divert the sincere man. Idleness is something unknown to him. Sincerity is its own reward. Satisfaction is its by-product.

Sep 02 | GOD | Daily Divine Digest

The self-interested theologians have created a jealous personal God bent on protecting his adherents and damning the votaries of the rival gods. The whole of this fabric is an arrant fiction. The impersonal cosmic Intelligence governs the universe. It is the only Reality common to all. There is no objection to labelling It as God.

Sep 01 | SPIRITUAL ANGUISH | Daily Divine Digest

It is not given to all to develop spiritual anguish. Experienced ones see into the emptiness of earthly life. An awakening takes place in them. They hanker after the persisting reality. They know of no rest until the Imperishable is realized.
