“O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea...”

Isaiah 66:10 & 12 KJV

“Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

“For thus saith the Lord , Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.”

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Golden Rule)

“Never think About
Yourself; Always Help Others.”
— Robert B. Wegman.

(1) Haiku-Wise:

“Never think About
Yourself, Always Think About
Others” is “Wisdom.”

“Never think About
Yourself, Always Help Others”
Is “Sacred Council.”

“Never think About
Yourself, Always Think About
Others” as “God Is.”

(2) Sri Nisargadatta-Wise:

“M: Energy flows from earnestness...

“Q: I must lack energy. 

“M: What happened to your energy? Did you not scatter it over so many contradictory desires and pursuits? You don't have an infinite supply of energy. 

“M: Your aims are small and low. Only God's energy is infinite -- because He wants nothing for Himself. Be like Him and all your desires will be filled. The higher your aims and vaster your desires, the more energy you will have for their fulfillment. Desire the good of all and the universe will work with you. But if you want your own pleasure, you must earn it the hard way. Before desiring, deserve.”

[Rich Note: The Sri Nisargadatta quotes are from “I AM THAT,” which can be downloaded from the following link on a complementary basis:
