The possibility is always there.

Go not to the temple to put flower upon the feet of God,

First remove the darkness of sin from your heart……….

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,

First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen ……

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,

First bend down to lift someone who is downtrodden ……

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,

First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.

A New Crop of Fools

Every generation a new crop of fools comes on. They think they can beat the orderly universe. They conceive thmselves to be more clever than the eternal laws. They snatch goods from Nature's store, and run.... And one by one they all come back to Nature's counter, and pay--pay in tears, in agony, in despair; pay as fools before them have paid. Nature keeps books pitilessly. Your credit with her is good, but she collects; there is no land you can flee to escape her bailiffs. She never forgets; she sees to it that you pay her every cent you owe, with interest. -Dr. Frank Crane
Success often comes 2 those who dare 2 act. It seldom goes 2 the timid who R ever afraid of the consequences. -Nehru

Some people just tolerate their body and other people actually honor their bodies.

Of yourself. Of your heart. If you are wondering if you "love" someone, ask yourself how you have placed your partner's needs above your own.
