Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The life of a man should not be a wasteful round of eating, drinking and sleeping. Man has the Atma as his reality; he must learn to become aware of that unfailing source of Bliss. By the proper use of his intelligence, man can tap that spring and be supremely blissful. Happiness can be won only by proceeding towards God, not by following the urges of the senses. Intelligence has to be directed to good ends, to seek and discover ways and means of expanding one's love and deepening one's compassion. It should not descend to cynicism, and the search for faults in others. When a rose is held in the hand, its fragrance can give the holder joy; the fragrance can be enjoyed by people standing near. So, too, when your intelligence is saturated with the fragrance of virtue and charity, you can derive contentment and joy, and those around you also can share in the peace and harmony.
