LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF LOVE
It is so important to remember—
That our time here is limited,
And that the day will inevitably
Come when we must leave our
Bodies, our beloveds and everything
We cherish in this world behind.
Until that hour, if we are wise,
We will consciously use every moment
Of our journey through life
To constantly expand our ability to
Love and truly serve others—
Doing whatever we can to
Help alleviate suffering in this
Painful, yet wonderful world.
We were not sent here just to
Chase after our desires and pleasures,
Or to accumulate wealth or material things—
We were born to serve a higher purpose,
Far beyond our own self centered concerns,
On a divine mission of making a difference
And serving the good of all living beings.
We came here with nothing
And will leave with nothing,
For, in truth, we are eternal spirits
Temporarily inhabiting these human
Bodies for a time until we are
Called onwards on our soul’s great
Spiritual journey through the universe.

Joy is much more important than mere happiness, and in this poem Mary adroitly shares why.
Joy, which the dictionary says is “a state of blissful happiness and the experience of great pleasure or delight that is deeply satisfying…” always arises in our hearts from our being focused in the present moment and bestows a profound sense of well being and serenity.
We all need joy as much as we need Love to thrive. “If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it…Joy is not meant to be a crumb.”
—Chinmayan
In this profound and uplifting poem by Emily Dickinson, the poet is laying out an empowering attitude for living life with kindness, compassion, caring and Love springing from a deep desire to serve and help others in their suffering and to make a real difference in this painful world so that “I shall not live in vain.”
—Chinmayan
