Do not postpone what you can do today
The goal will near you faster than the pace with which you near the goal. God is as eager to save you as you are eager to be saved; He is . He is (1oving and compassion), for all who flounder on the road. He is called (He who grants the desires of the devotees). You say that I laugh within Myself, that I roll My hair on My fingers and draw them tight over My face-but let me say why. It is a sign of My over leaping its bounds, at the success of in capturing My heart. There was an emperor once who asked the sages who visited his palace, Who is the best among men? Which moment of time is most blessed? Which act is most beneficial? He could not get a satisfactory, answer for long. At last, his realm was invaded and he was defeated by rival forces and he had to flee into the jungle. There he fell into the clutches of a primitive tribe who selected him as a victim to their goddess. While in this precarious condition, he was seen by an ascetic, who rescued him and took him to his quiet hermitage where he and his students tended him lovingly back to health and happiness. Then he discovered the answers to his questions. The best among men is he who has compassion; the most blessed time is the 'present', this very second, and the best act is to relieve pain and grief. You decide to start (remembrance of the Divine name) "next Thursday," as if death has assured you in writing that he will not call on you till that date. Do not postpone what you can do today, now, this very moment.
