Sweet Reflections 13

The Kites of Our Lives

Heavy stones of pride and arrogance, since we had tied to the kites of our lives, our aspirations to fly high in the air of personal peace, joy and contentment, do not become realities.

The Joy of Selfishness

Your selfish thoughts and passions when you drive out, you make room within your minds and hearts for your friends and neighbours to walk in and share with you their joy warmth and affection.

Wings of Love

In the turbulent winds of selfishness since we have broken our wings of love, may we realize we are unable to fly off from the ravines of sensual thirst to the skies of spiritual gaieties.

A Channel of God’s Love

The Joy of Our Future

May we learn to build the joy of our future not on the bubbles of selfishness, fear and dishonesty but on the rocks of selflessness, honour and integrity.

The Wicks of Lamps

Like the wicks of lamps that shine at the expense of oil I am in tears to see the rich thrive at the expense of the poor.

Your Candles of Smile

The candles of smile that you light have flooded my paths with lights of wisdom and delights of freedom, to seek the unsought, to fight the unfought, to try the untried, to find the unfound and fill our home with the fragrance of love, success, joy and understanding.

Heart of the Department

What the brilliant heads fail to do affectionate and understanding hearts find it easy to do more than the cleverness of the mind, it is the humanness of the heart that is able to lead people in an effective manner. Hence, instead of saying head of the department why don’t we say heart of the department?

Sweet Reflections 11

The Lovely Arms of Justice

The lovely arms of justice with a relentless spirit of fidelity when we hold the paths that we tread cannot but glitter with silver and gold. Against the tyranny of injustice, our fingers when we raise most of us fail to know we defend justice and praise the loving Lord.

A Lamb at the Top of a Hill

The holy will of the Lord to fulfill, when you have an iron will and the barren lives of poor people with smiles to fill when you show goodwill, you shine a lamb at the top of a hill and the entire vicinity with flashes of peace and happiness in a beautiful way you fill.

Crosses into Roses

The Festival of Lights

The glittering bubbles of joys that dance merrily at the fountains of untruth cannot escape being blown out by the powerful winds of truth. May the festive of lights that we look forward with its banquet of delight enlighten our hearts with this message of truths triumph over untruth so that we may evince remarkable valour in our battle against the fury of the latter’s tyranny.

The Pillow of Christ’s Love

Piercing winds of winter are the cloths that wrapped up the tender body of Jesus from whose shivers of heroic poverty came the showers of historic graces upon the whole humanity. On the beautiful pillow of his love when we rest our lives, he is sure to suck out the gall of our mundane worries and pour in the honey of his joy and serenity.

Like our selfish tongue that seeks its own tastes unconcerned about the health of our entire system may be alert to know our flesh craves for its own pleasures totally bind to the well being of our heart and soul.

Self Purification

The disheveled hairs of inner disquietude may we learn to set right and beautify with the combs of self introspection, self determination, self negation and self purification.

The Wheels of our Life

The wheels of our life will ever remain at the starting point of the road to success and joy, if we don’t fill them with the air of positive thinking, self confidence and trust in the Lord.

A Burial for Egoism

All those who buried, the buried cannot escape being buried and yet our selfish attitudes of pride, greed, jealousy and hatred, we are reluctant to destroy and see them buried.

The World of Spirit

Living in the world and leaving the world make no difference for me since I have learnt from my scriptures not to cling to the dying world of matter but to cling to the living world of spirit.

The beautiful stream of your love and kindness flows down into the hot deserts of human sorrows and transforms them into green fields of unspeakable joy. Your smiles of peace and hope put down the fire of grief and despair, within the hearts of those who suffer the pain of rejections.

May the deliciousness with which your thoughts, words and deeds are clothed, reach the tongue of every human heart that has at its door, nothing but bitterness. May the world be lucky to have you on her lap for many more years so that you may continue to reflect the light of God’s love upon her entire face.

Life’s Uncertainty

Every bit of my heart tells me I have already moved one step closer to my grave and the unstable shapes of the clouds above my lead with a sarcastic laugh remind me about the uncertainty of the ensuring minute.

Competence and Confidence

More than competence what you need is confidence. With the complacency of the former what you may fail to achieve with the consistency of the latter, you can’t but achieve.

The Breaks of Moderation

Into a drop of honey, if an ant falls, it will enjoy itself. But the same ant if it falls into a pot of honey, it will destroy itself. Hence, let us be wise to apply the brakes of moderation when we seek the pleasures of this world with reckless speed and boundless greed.

Life Principle of Love

A life principle of love is the star that will lead us to the manger of Christ humility from where our vibrant breaths of truthful living can sweep off the stench of greed that may trap us into whirlpools of tears.

Self Denigration

Nothing in the world can upset the cart of your peace on the uneven road of your life as certainly as self doubt, self pity, self hate, self curse and self denigration.

With the fuel of love and sacrifice when we light the lamps of our lives and give our flames of uprightness and large-heartedness, forgiveness and duty-mindedness, truthfulness and helpfulness in a fitting manner, we praise and worship the Lord.

Our Spiritual Eyes

As inseparable as a rose and its fragrance, a word and its meaning, an engine and its fuel, love of God and love of neighbor are the two eyes that give us the spiritual vision of concentrating upon the single goal of fulfilling God’s will.

A Breeze of Love

Like the lovely moon that needs neither jewellery nor flattery to enhance its beauty, a breeze of love, you move on clasping my arms and my entire self firmly and fondly along the road of indescribable joy.

Fingers of self-control, if we lose to a desperate state of helplessness, we will fall a prey and the fine music of peace and contentment on the piano of our life, we cannot hope to play.
