NOTES AND QUOTE

Nineteenth Sunday Year A
 

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me,and without a doubt you shall be united with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.
(Bhagavad Gita)

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation. Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a grey vegetation.
(Jean Arp)
 

The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
(James Allen)
