Lasting Impressions
What are the seemingly lasting impressions that affect our thinking, living and being? These impressions can only be experienced as temporary though they often appear to be long-lasting. Habits of consciousness are easily swayed by changing conditions, but true realization requires an eternal ideal and genuine effort.

Sacred and Secular
Can we be both “of dust” and “of spirit”? With a reminder of the ashes placed on the forehead on many a faithful this week, the mortality of the body and the immortality of soul renew the question and response offered by the Persian poet Fariduddin Attar, "Which matters more, the body or the soul? Be whole: desire and journey to the Whole.”
With the expressions of the infinite and finite, the divine and worldly, as well as the sacred and secular may come this thought: “There is but one Reality that permeates thee and me and all beings…Then why does thou lose thy forbearance and become angry? Rise above the consciousness of separation and realize thyself in all and all in thee.” This universal message of Shankaracharya brings to mind an ideal to seek and uphold amidst the ever changing conditions of this earthly existence.

Glimpses of Truth
Every Sunday we avow together our spiritual ideal as recorded in the Eternal Truths of Absolute Monism: “I Am Brahman, The Absolute Self.” and “Everything is the Manifestation of God, the Divine Reality.” Few of us have fully realized this lofty ideal, yet it forever guides us. Steadfast devotion to this ideal gives us “glimpses of truth” which eternally draw us upwards and onwards on our spiritual path until the ideal becomes our reality. Let us proceed with patience and perseverance. The goal is assured.
