Daily Hindu Wisdom
As the man and the woman in me Unite in love, The brilliant beauty Balanced on the two-petalled lotus Within me Dazzles my eyes. The rays Outshine the moon And the jewels Glowing on the hoods of snakes.
My skin and bone Are tuned to gold. I am the reservoir of love Alive as the waves. A single drop of water Has grown into a sea, Unnavigable.
-Lalan

By means of what He created Allah gave you shelter from the sun and carved out caverns in the mountains for your refuge. He gave you the ability to make garments that protect you from heat, as well as coats of mail that protect you in warfare. Thus He perfected His favors to you that you may surrender yourselves before His will.
-Qur'an, An-Nahl, Surah 16:81
