Dawn - greet it so that our day may be illumined

03/28/2004

Human beings are so unaccustomed to using the spiritual faculties given to them by the Creator that, even at the sunrise, they do not know what to do. After a few minutes they become bored; they are tired of looking at this brilliant ball in the sky. And so they go away to busy themselves with things that are more tangible, things they consider more important! What is even more extraordinary is that so many people who happen to see the sun rise by chance recognise it as one of life's most beautiful sights, and yet they make no effort to repeat the experience. Yes, how many people are impelled to get up and greet the dawn, to welcome this light into their hearts and souls so that the whole day will be as luminous and pure?
