(Serenity)

Calmness of the mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control and high thinking. The calm man, having learned how to govern himself; knows how to adapt himself to others; and they; in turn, reverence his spiritual strength. They also feel they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater his success, his influence , his power for good. The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like the shade of a  tree. This is easy to say BUT; humanity continues to surge with uncontrolled passion, dwelling in ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt, and yet, when risen to higher levels by Divine Wisdom and true connection with “Self” in its Oneness, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him. It is time to quiet the mind”
