Enjoyment has its limit. It gets satiated. Its reaction is misery. Happiness is not constant. It ends as sorrow. The thought of the bygone happiness brings in melancholy.

October 13 | THE ZERO | Daily Divine Digest

The Zero is nothing; it is valueless. But when it is annexed to a number it increases the value of that number. To the extent Zeros are placed the value of the number increases.

October 08 | THE PATH OF WORK | Daily Divine Digest

Work is a means for self-expression. Earning the livelihood should be subordinated and subscribed to evolving the personality. Any calling is as good as any other provided it draws out the hidden possibilities. Work is an opportunity. It is not an irksome imposition.

October 03 | THE REQUISITE | Daily Divine Digest

Barring man all creatures are so constituted that they are self-sufficient to carry on their career. Man alone is in need of housing, clothing and a variety of instruments suited to the callings. His objective requisites are incalculable. But for selfperfection the requisites are all subjective.

October 02 | SANCTUARY | Daily Divine Digest

What is sancturary to one need not necessarily be so to another. Very often a fanatic gloats in defiling the sacred place of an alien. But the human body is the universally accepted sanctuary. It is divinely ordained so. Man is obliged to view his body as the temple of the Maker. The alien and the infidel also are to be treated with the due regard.
