Re: [LeadersWorkshop] The Ice Is Melting

English Couplet 241:
Wealth 'mid wealth is wealth 'kindliness';
Wealth of goods the vilest too possess.
The wealth of kindness is wealth of wealth, in as much as the wealth of property is possessed by the basest of men.
The law of 'grace' fulfil, by methods good due trial made,
Though many systems you explore, this is your only aid.
(Stand) in the good path, consider, and be kind. Even considering according to the conflicting tenets of the different sects, kindness will be your best aid, (in the acquisition of heavenly bliss).
They in whose breast a 'gracious kindliness' resides,
See not the gruesome world, where darkness drear abides.
They will never enter the world of darkness and wretchedness whose minds are the abode of kindness.
Who for undying souls of men provides with gracious zeal,
In his own soul the dreaded guilt of sin shall never feel.
(The wise) say that the evils, which his soul would dread, will never come upon the man who exercises kindness and protects the life (of other creatures).
The The teeming earth's vast realm, round which the wild winds blow,
Is witness, men of 'grace' no woeful want shall know.
This great rich earth over which the wind blows, is a witness that sorrow never comes upon the kind-hearted.
AGain of true wealth oblivious they eschew,
Who 'grace' forsake, and graceless actions do.
(The wise) say that those who neglect kindness and practice cruelties, neglected virtue (in their former birth), and forgot (the sorrows which they must suffer).
As to impoverished men this present world is not;
The 'graceless' in you world have neither part nor lot.
As this world is not for those who are without wealth, so that world is not for those who are without kindness.
Who lose the flower of wealth, when seasons change, again may bloom;
Who lose 'benevolence', lose all; nothing can change their doom.
Those who are without wealth may, at some future time, become prosperous; those who are destitute of kindness are utterly destitute; for them there is no change.
When souls unwise true wisdom's mystic vision see,
The 'graceless' man may work true works of charity.
If you consider, the virtue of him who is without kindness is like the perception of the true being by him who is without wisdom.
When weaker men you front with threat'ning brow,
Think how you felt in presence of some stronger foe.
When a man is about to rush upon those who are weaker than himself, let him remember how he has stood (trembling) before those who are stronger than himself.

Start teaching others what you know
you may end up learning more
God has amazing principles of abundance. Any normal human being can get exposed to such principles by exerting positive efforts with pure intention into the right perspective. Extensive scholarly studies conclude that the root level principle of abundance and spirituality is to love and serve the creatures of God. His creatures are not limited to Humans only. A bird in your window, the cat in your house, the stray dogs and every single breathing thing, including trees is creature of God. God multiplies His blessings when someone loves His creatures.
Spirituality is usually taken as a complex, not-easy-to-understand thing whereas in my opinion you are already a spiritual person:
1- when you do things purely for the sake of God, without any greed.2- when you serve His creatures without any expectation (money, respect or any other benefit) .3- when you have a big heart to offer your services whenever and wherever required, no matter big or small.4- when you want to add value into someone's life.5- when you want to resolve someone's unhappy situation.
On the contrary, some of us are self-centered people, not concerned about others feelings and needs. We should understand that all the God-given blessings and qualities we have, are like ice. While the ice is melting (as the age factor), the coolness of ice should not be limited to ourselves. When we distribute what we have, God multiplies His blessings and adds more! When we surprise others, God surprises us. Needless to mention that God's surprises are far beyond the level of our comprehensions.
The crux of this article is to make a concrete commitment to ourselves to spread small happiness from today and start the great journey towards an awesome blessed life!Things to do:I will put genuine efforts in the following domains:1- serving my family, relatives and friends with the best intention.2- adding value to the lives of orphans, widows and poor.3- expanding my horizon to serve the society with time, money and efforts.4- Encouraging my fellow beings and bring them to the journey of spiritualism.Regards__._,_.___
