Empirical Sources of Blessedness

Eat sparingly, breathe deeply, talk kindly, work energetically, bathe thoroughly and have a long life. Cultivate a melting heart, the giving hand, the kindly speech, the life of service, equal vision and impartial attitude. Your life will indeed be blessed.

Out of pain comes the philosophy of "Who am I?"; out of suffering comes endurance; out of service a pure, compassionate heart; out of adversity the strength of will; out of faith the final beatitude; and out of meditation oneness with the Infinite.

Om Neelji,

I would be very honored if you were able to obtain poem....
