THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
In the path of devotion, for those who bargain and crave for profit,
reverence is equated with returns; they sell homage at so much per unit of
satisfactory response. They calculate how much they are able to extract, like
paid servants clamouring for wages, overtime allowances, bonuses and so on. One
must be a member of God's family, a kinsman, a friend of God. You must feel
that you are the Lord's very own. Then your work will not be tiring, you will
be able to carry it out in a better manner and it will yield more satisfaction
too. In return the Lord Himself will maintain you in bliss. Leave the rest to
Him. He knows Best. The joy of having Him is enough reward. This is the secret
of human happiness. Live out your lives on these lines and you will never come
to grief.
