Are We Doomed

 Sri Swami Vishwananda 

 

Some say we are doomed, which I don’t believe at all. We make ourselves doomed; we make ourselves miserable. When you are far away from the light, you are in darkness, aren´t you? You have this choice; if you want to be in the light, you will see the light, but if you refuse to see the light, don’t complain that you are not seeing the light. If you sit in the dark room and say 'It’s dark! It’s dark!' but you don’t want to move to the next room where there is light, then why do you complain? It’s the same thing with the Divine, which is ever present. If you want to be sincere in your wish.

ONE  DAY  AT  A  TIME 

Ysterday was a dark day
For a friend as she was told
She has a terminal illness.

For her this was a dark, lightless day.

Today she has prayed and meditated
And sees the light of a plan for wellness.

She accepts that if The Divine Wills,
She will move on from the body
Into another dimension.

She has chosen light
Either here or there.

Everyone on this planet chooses . . .
Today is a day of darkness . . . or . . .
Today is a day of Light.
