The blessing and fruit of regular spiritual practices
like exercise, meditation, chanting, and japa
is that,
early in the morning
after a good night’s sleep
and before others have arose,
the time for meditation is carved out.
The eternal soul blossoms
and engulfs the human consciousness
with a wave of bliss and peace
that wipes out our little human drama
and floods us with a divine love and contentment
which in turn heals
the wounds of the limited human soul.
This is the flood
of love and peace
which begins every great day.
