THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Housing, clothing and food gives physical comfort and happiness.
Education, development of skills, and knowledge about the world gives a means
for livelihood. However the ancient adage says that real and lasting happiness
cannot be won by physical happiness ("Na Sukhaat labhathe sukham"). Lasting
happiness - happiness that will not be shaken, diminished or modified by
changing wheels of fortune can only come by the discipline of the mind, and
faith in a Higher Power. The lamp of spiritual awareness has to be lit and fed
continuously, so that one's footsteps can take that path and proceed unharmed
to that state of true happiness.
