Achieving your goals – Study Circle SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29th, 2020 @ 2:00 PM
<!–
–>
This Sunday as usual we will have our regular Bhajans from 2 PM followed by “Achieving your goals” – Study Circle 2:45 PM.
Please see the study circle topic “The Lord has endowed man with the body and so, every limb and every sense organ is worthy of reverent attention. Each must be used for His Glory. The ear must exult when it gets a chance to hear the wonderful tales of God. The tongue must exult when it can praise Him. Or else, the tongue of man is ineffective as that of frogs which croak day and night, sitting on the marshy bank. The human body has been given to you for a grand purpose – realising the Lord within. If you have a fully equipped car in good running condition, would you keep it in the garage? The car is primarily for going on a journey; get into it and go. Then only is it worthwhile to own it. So too, with the body. Proceed, go forward to the goal. Learn how to use the faculties of the body, the senses, the intellect, and the mind for achieving the goal and march on.” – Divine Discourse, Feb 18, 1966.
