August 5

The human life itself is a strong desire to be led by the clever mind.

We have to pray to God constantly to come to the fore in us. Let Him guide us and mould us in His own way, into His very image. We are not the doers. We have to feel that we are the instruments and He is the player. If we have that kind of feeling, then we can always be happy. If we feel that we are God's instruments and that we are helpless unless God acts in and through us, naturally He will do the right thing in and through us. The right thing for whom? For us. But we have to consciously give Him the chance. We shall give Him this chance soulfully, devotedly and unconditionally. We will say to God, "Take care of us. We came from You. We want You to look after us now." ~ Sri Chinmoy

The choice lies with you.
Either you take full responsibility
For your life
Or let God manifest Himself
In and through you
In His own way.

~Sri Chinmoy
