Train yourself in
the ideal of the lily, which blossoms in the mud and has to keep itself engaged in the struggle for existence day in
and day out, parrying, bracing and fighting the shocks of muddy water, storms, squalls and sundry other vicissitudes
of fortune, and yet it does not forget the moon above. It keeps its love for the moon constantly alive. It seems,
however but a most ordinary flower. There is nothing extraordinary about it. Still, this most ordinary flower has
a romantic tie with the great moon. Similarly, you may be an ordinary creature - you may have to pass your days in
the ups and downs of worldly existence - still do not forget that Supreme One. Keep all your desires inclined
towards Him. Always keep yourself merged in His thought. Go deep into the mood of that infinite love!
