“I don’t want the Midas touch, nor want a kings retreat, neither I desire a Palace of wonders.
I don’t want the rubies, neither any precious gems, nor the diamonds which shall rule my mind.
I don’t want selfish love, nor do I desire an aristocratic breed of life, neither am willing to trade my soul to the devil.Â
I don’t fancy the artificial essence in my life, nor I wish to jubilate on my best days, I regale on passing clouds no more.
I don’t miss my euphoric past, am not worried any more, nor do I treasure to make a landmark.
O Dear Lord Sai ,
All i desire is a place!
A place is all I desire!
A place in your heart,
A place beyond time & space,
A place to celebrate my fortune,
A place at thy Lotus feet,
 Shining eternally as the Crest JewelÂ
Adorned Majestically, lightening the three Worlds
All is Desire is YOU

The Summon Bonum – The Highest Good of Human Life

Human life becomes meaningful when it is guided by a higher purpose. People may chase wealth, comfort, fame, and success, but deep inside, every soul searches for something greater than temporary happiness. The Summon Bonum represents that highest good, the sacred goal that gives direction to life and brings peace to the heart. It reminds us that real fulfillment does not come only from outer achievement, but from inner purity, wisdom, love, and spiritual awakening.

The phrase is closely connected with the philosophical term “summum bonum,” which means the highest or supreme good, the ultimate aim toward which human life should move. (Merriam-Webster) In a spiritual sense, The Summon Bonum can be understood as the highest truth that a person seeks beyond all desires. It is not merely a concept for scholars; it is a living path for every person who wants to live with meaning, peace, and divine connection.

Many people spend their lives collecting things, but still feel incomplete. They may have money, respect, and comfort, yet the mind remains restless. This happens because the soul cannot be satisfied by temporary objects alone. The heart needs truth. The mind needs clarity. The soul needs divine love. The Summon Bonum teaches that the greatest good is not something outside us, but something awakened within us.

In ordinary life, we often mistake pleasure for happiness. Pleasure comes and goes quickly. It depends on situations, people, and possessions. But true happiness is deeper. It remains steady even when life changes. A person who lives with faith, honesty, compassion, and self-control begins to experience this deeper joy. Such a person may not have everything, but there is peace inside. That peace is a sign of the highest good.

The Summon Bonum also teaches the importance of choosing wisely. Every day, life places many choices before us. Some choices satisfy desire, while others strengthen character. Some actions bring quick benefit, while others create lasting peace. A wise person does not run blindly after what looks attractive. He asks, “Will this make my soul pure? Will this bring me closer to truth? Will this help me become a better human being?”

The highest good is not selfish. It does not separate us from others. When a person truly moves toward spiritual goodness, the heart becomes kinder. Compassion grows naturally. The pain of others begins to matter. Service becomes a joy, not a burden. The Summon Bonum reminds us that a life lived only for oneself remains small, but a life lived with love and service becomes sacred.

There is also a strong connection between the highest good and devotion. Devotion gives warmth to wisdom. Without love, philosophy can become dry. Without wisdom, devotion can become emotional but unstable. When love and understanding come together, life becomes balanced. A devotee learns to surrender ego, trust the Divine, and serve the world with humility. This is the path where the soul slowly becomes purified.

The Summon Bonum is not achieved through pride, argument, or outer display. It is reached through sincerity. A person may pray silently, serve quietly, forgive patiently, and live truthfully without seeking attention. These simple actions may look ordinary, but they carry great spiritual power. The Divine values purity of intention more than public praise.

Life will always test our understanding. There will be moments of anger, fear, loss, temptation, and confusion. During such times, the idea of the highest good becomes very important. It helps us remember that every reaction shapes our character. If we choose hatred, the heart becomes heavy. If we choose forgiveness, the heart becomes free. If we choose truth, the soul becomes strong.

The journey toward the highest good also requires detachment. Detachment does not mean rejecting life or becoming cold. It means loving without becoming enslaved by attachment. It means working sincerely without being destroyed by results. It means accepting joy with gratitude and pain with patience. A detached heart is not empty; it is peaceful because it trusts a higher wisdom.

In the end, The Summon Bonum is a sacred reminder that human life is not meant only for survival, pleasure, or competition. It is meant for growth, realization, and love. The greatest good is found when the heart becomes pure, the mind becomes calm, and actions become selfless. Wealth may fade, beauty may change, and worldly praise may disappear, but the goodness awakened within the soul remains eternal.

A person who understands this truth begins to live differently. He speaks with care, acts with responsibility, forgives with strength, and serves with humility. His life becomes an offering. His peace becomes his real success. His love becomes his true wealth. That is the beauty of The Summon Bonum – it turns life from a restless search into a sacred journey toward the highest good.
