Life is not all spring-time. It is fiery summer and freezing winter and fading autumn too. Corroding are the cares and anxieties of life. Crooked are the ways of life. Often does life offer me the cup of bitterness to drink. Great is the agony with which my spirit has to wrestle. Unbreakable is the…
Let the joy of living fill my heart to overflowing. Let it grow with the growth of the years of my life. Let me always say yea to life. Let me give to life at least as much as, life gives to me. Give me life, Thou Creator mine, lively and long, useful and joyful….
Nature has endowed the world with multifarious beauties all around. The delights and beauties of nature enliven the imagination and elevate the soul.

Hope buoys me up. Hope raises the banner under which victory can be won. I am happy when the bright ray of hope shines upon me. Often is hope doomed to disappointment. I become upholder of a forlorn hope. Me bright hope gives way to despair. My long cherished hope grows dim and fades. It…
Seven or nine heavens, vaulting one above another, they say, is Garonmana, Thy celestial Abode of Songs. From there dost Thou come down to Thy worshippers in all Thy grandeur, when they supplicate Thee and invoke Thee. But, in all humility, I feel and know Thy nearness.
