theist 1 Report post Posted March 24, 2004 I read this on another forum and thought it so good I wanted to share it with others. I hope the author doesn't mind. -------------- Standing Before the Inner Life In memory of those who died in Spain by Sankirtana Das - March 14, 2004 There are those who hate as much as they can because their inner life is devoid of love There are those who inflict much suffering upon others because their inner life is racked with pain There are those who seize as much wealth as they can because their inner life is a world of poverty There are those who complain as much as they can because their inner life is filled with confusion There are those who rush to crowded places because their inner life is lonely and dimly lit There are those who cannot tolerate the differences of others because their inner life is a barren landscape There are those who must convince as many as they can because their inner life is filled with self doubt There are those who shout as loudly as they can because they cannot hear God's whisper There are those who do not see the open door because their inner life is locked away There are those who are afraid of failure because their inner life is filled with uncertainty Discover the eternal self Do not be afraid to stand in the face of adversity Reject the impulse to seize anger and darkness as your ally Be illumned by the light of the inner life Sankirtana das, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, travels widely offering sacred storytelling programs and workshops at colleges, temples, museums and conferences. His projects include the Vedic Storytelling Institute. For further info visit www.sacredvoices.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
