Thought for the Day

To battle against the tendency of body-identification, and to win the
grace of God as the only means of victory, spiritual exercises have
been laid down, such as philosophical inquiry, besides sense control
(Dama), and other disciplines of the six-fold Sadhana (spiritual
discipline). The practice of these will ensure the purification of the
consciousness. It will then become like a clean mirror that can
reflect the object, so the Atma will stand revealed clearly. For
Jnanasiddhi (the attainment of the highest wisdom), Chitthashuddhi
(the cleansing of the consciousness) is the royal path. For the pure
in heart, this is easy of achievement. This is the central truth of
the search for the Ultimate Reality.

Thought for the Day

The world observes only the interval between birth and death; they
concern themselves only with that limited period. But God, the Master
and Sovereign of all the worlds, past, present and future, does not do
like that. He has more compassion than the entire human race put
together. He showers His grace, weighing the three tenses of time, the
three tiers of space, and the three traits of character. He knows
best, more than any one of us; the best recourse for you is to believe
that everything is His Will and be at peace, and immerse yourself in
the contemplation of His glory and grace.

Thought for the Day

Having taken birth as a human being, one has to realise the Divinity
within. The primary duty of every individual, as a messenger of God,
is to practice and propagate the principles of truth, love, and peace
and to experience the bliss within and share it with others. The one
who propagates the worldly, fleeting, and ephemeral matters cannot be
called a Messenger of God. The one who loves God is the Messenger of
God. The one whom God loves is the Son of God. The one who understands
the principle of unity becomes one with God.

You should not waste your life in merely eating, drinking, and sleeping. In fact such a life is a blot on human nature itself. Every activity of yours should reflect the divine message. Unfortunately, this is not the case today. Some people claim that they have dedicated their lives to the mission of God. But in reality it is not so. They are wasting their precious time in materialistic pursuits. There is nothing wrong in studying, doing jobs, and earning money provided they are done in the right spirit, which is beneficial to one and all. You see many people suffering. In what way are you helping them? The dualities of life such as pain and pleasure go hand in hand. Pain and pleasure coexist. It is impossible to separate them. Pleasure does not exist separately. The fructification of pain is pleasure. This message of truth must be taught to the entire world. Without pain, one does not realise the value of pleasure. The value of light can be realised only when there is darkness.

Never feel depressed when you are weighed down by difficulties. God will never impose on you ordeals that you cannot bear. He tests his devotees in various ways. Test is the ‘taste’ of God. Never fear any test. Be ready to sacrifice even your life for the sake of God. Only then will God protect you. There are no defects in God. All words and deeds of God are perfect. What you see is the reflection, reaction and resound of your feelings. They are psychological in nature. God always grants us welfare alone. Understand and experience this truth.
