Whisper Of Heaven

Aum Sairam

He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken
down, and without walls.

When life is charging forward at breakneck speed, it seems nearly
impossible to have time to order and ground our souls.

We find ourselves engaged in roles and responsibilities that demand not
only our best effort, but also our greatest time and energy.

We can go on for some time without giving attention to our souls, but
the risk is great and the cost high.

We are left like a city without walls.

Disillusionment and dismay, malaise and melancholy march in like
soldiers and take control of the centre of our lives, and we are left
spiritually unbalanced, distorted, contorted.

Caring for our spiritual lives does require a measure of time and a
dose of priority, but it only takes a simple practise, not heroic
effort, in order to safeguard our souls. Try any of these:

Meditate for 10 minutes every morning, every night.

Awake with a prayer on your lips and speak to God when you close your
eyes in slumber.

Give your soul companionship with a spiritual community.

Write a letter to God every day.

Spend 30 minutes every day in nature and find yourself in God's
presence there.

A practise lived with regularity will not only keep your spiritual life
in balance, you'll also find you will feel the tenderness of God and
hear the whisper of heaven.

Allah Malik
