DIVINE WISDOM

By Adhyatma-Kavita-Bhaskara,
His Divinity Shri Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati

Everybody is your friend,
when your heart throbs with friendly feelings.
Where there is the warmth of real love
in your heart,
your eyes are luminous, your face declares it,
and your behaviour expresses it,
and you get friends unasked.

When you obey laws of health,
your body is your friend.
When you love God, Nature is your friend.
When you love man, God is your friend.
When you love hard work, success is your friend.
When you possess an understanding heart,
peace and harmony are your friends.
When you love fresh air, cleanliness, good habits,
radiant health is your friend.
When you love the development of your intelligence
and the growth of your faith,
Illumination is your friend.

Everywhere you have a friend.
In all things there is a friend for you.
