When rains come, earth and sky are one in the sheety downpour. It is indeed a beautiful and inspiring scene, an imagery by which creation itself is teaching you to become one with the Creator. Learn three lessons: the impermanence of created things, your role as a servant, and God as the Master. The game called life is played with these - the process of creation, the created, the Creator. Rejoice that the Lord continues to place in your hands newer ways to serve Him and exult in the chance you receive. This attitude will give you immeasurable joy; to lead a life suffused with this joy is indeed bliss. Whatever is done from sunrise to sunset must be consecrated, as if it is the worship of the Lord. Just as care is taken to pluck only fresh flowers and to keep them clean and unfaded, so too, continuous and persistent effort should be made to perform deeds that are pure and unsullied.
