More From Eknath Easwaran

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

They'd had fun, for sure. they laughed and enjoyed being together. but if she was painfully honest with herself, something was missing. something in the way tim looked at her. she remembered her mom's word.

Suppose we pick a name for him, eh?" caius pompeius stepped over and eyed the child. "he looks a little like my proconsul, marcus. we could call him marcus." josiah worthington said, "he looks more like my head gardener, stebbins. not that i'm suggesting stebbins as a name. the man drank like a fish."

Say not, 'i have found the truth,' but rather, 'i have found a truth.' say not, ' i have found the path of the soul.' say rather, 'i have met the soul walking upon my path.' for the soul walks upon all paths. the soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. the soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of god. the best advice i know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.
