Living in Harmony


 

Living in Harmony

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.”

—Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD), Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher

The joy of living is contagious.  Each day it comes like the light which shines brighter and brighter.   In short it’s our daily bread dished out for us to taste its sweetness.  This heavenly delicacy which is sweeter than honey accompanies us on our journey.  Faith is a free and everlasting gift that has no limits.  It’s special and supernatural.  Supremely, it’s like heaven on earth when people traverse fields picking beautiful flowers.  This journey is through the loving care of our Creator, who dwells in the Universe.  In our divinely orchestrated world believers stroll independently walking by faith, and not by sight.  Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890), a major Dutch Post-Impressionist painter said, “I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.”  Van Gogh was talking about this Divine Guidance in his faith walk.   So why shouldn’t we do the same by living in harmony with society?

A Joyful Witness

Let your joyful shout penetrate the night air.  Be happy when you witness to others with Thanksgiving to the  Divine that’s loving and just.  God, Allah, Brahma, or Dao is the bread that feeds us with abundant blessings.  For our benefit this Ultimate Reality has bestowed the gift of knowledge.  As a testament to this gift innovators have invented technological devices that make living more enjoyable.  Daily the best Primal Essence sustains and uplifts our souls.  We’re therefore able to journey through life with confidence, patience, and perseverance.  While doing so, religious practitioners storm the heavens with prayers seeking the best in life.  These petitions do bring relief to souls longing for blessings as they live harmoniously with the Universe.
