Do every act as an offering to the Lord without being elated by success or dejected by defeat; this gives the poise and equanimity needed for sailing through waters of the ocean of life. It is infinitely better to think of God in grief and in joy; in peace and strife, in all weathers.
We have a life span, we too have a spiritual span. We are mortal, yet we are also immortal, our soul, our spirit. Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you going? Can you understand our immortal spirit that is encased inside a mortal body? Can you accept that I am you and you are me? No matter what name you all call yourselves, we all call ourselves "I"... That "I" is the gift of the Divine, we are all a spark of the Divine!
