In Death, Dawn has Come

.

 

 

Death is not extinguishing the light;

it is putting out the lamp

because the Dawn has come. 

 

Death is not extinguishing the light;

it is putting out the lamp

because the dawn has come.

Rabindranath Tagore

Miss no Opportunity...

Miss no single opportunity

of making some small sacrifice,

here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; 

always doing the smaller right

and doing it all for love.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Life is an Opportunity to Satisfy the Soul

Life = Opportunity

Life is an opportunity given
to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the soul.

Bow of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:  

And what is life? Life is an opportunity.
To the optimistic person the opportunity is a promise,

and for the pessimistic person this opportunity is lost.
It is not that the Creator makes man lose it,

but it is man who withdraws himself from the possibility
of seizing the opportunity.
