THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
For the bird in mid-ocean, flying over the deep, blue waters, the only
resting place is the mast of a ship sailing in those waters. In the same way,
the Lord is the only refuge for the man who is tossed about in the stormy seas
of this world. However far the bird may fly, it knows where it can find rest;
that knowledge gives it confidence. The Name of the Lord is like that mast;
remember it always, associate it with the Form and have that Form fixed in the
mind's eye. It is a lamp shedding light in the recesses of your heart. Have the
Name on the tongue and it will drive away the inner darkness as well as the
outer.
