“Spirituality is best manifested on the ground, not in the air. Rapturous day-dreams, flights of heavenly fancy, longings to see the Invisible, are less expensive and less expressive than the plain doing of duty. To have bread excite thankfulness and a drink of water send the heart to God is better than sighs for the unattainable. To plow a straight furrow on Monday or dust a room well on Tuesday or kiss a bumped forehead on Wednesday is worth more than the most ecstatic thrill under Sunday eloquence. Spirituality is seeing God in common things, and showing God in common tasks.” WellsHeartDreamSpiritualityWaterRoomsCommonSeeingAirDutyDrinkKissingTasksLongingInvisibleBreadFlightDustFancyExpensiveHeavenlySundayThrillSighMondayThankfulnessEloquenceForeheadsEcstaticTuesdayExpressiveWednesdayUnattainableCommon Things Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
“It is only when man cultivate humanness that society will shine with radiance and the nation and the world will progress. Humanness can be promoted only through spirituality and not by any other means. Just as a seed can sprout only when it is planted in the soil and watered, human values can grow only in a spiritual soil. If a man wants to cultivate human values, he has to apply the manure of spirituality to his heart, water it with love so that human values will grow.” IfsMenWorldWantHumansHeartMeanSpiritualValuesSpiritualityNationsGrowsWaterProgressHe ManShiningSeedsSoilRadianceHuman ValuesSproutsManureHumannessHumanness Is Author:Sathya Sai Baba
