A dear friend of mine e-mailed this to me, and I thought of sharing this on my blog.
Still your mind in me, still yourself in me,
And without doubt you shall be united With me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.
But if you cannot still your mind in me, Learn to do so through the practice of meditation.
If you lack the will for such self - discipline, Engage yourself in selfless service of all around you, For selfless service can lead you at last to me.
If you are unable to do even this, Surrender yourself to me in love,
Receiving success and failure with equal calmness As granted by me.
Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice.
Better than knowledge is meditation.
But better still is surrender in love, Because there follows immediate peace.
That one I love who is incapable of ill will And returns love for hatred.
Living beyond the reach of I and mine, and of pleasure and pain; full of mercy, contented, self controlled, firm in faith,
With all their heart and all their mind given to me-With such as these I am in love.
