THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Most people spend the lifetime allotted to them or earned by them in
partaking of rich yet harmful foods and drink and indulge in glamorous, harmful
pastimes. What a pathetic waste of precious stuff! Though belonging to the
animal kingdom, human beings have much more in terms of physical, mental and
moral abilities. They have the glorious chance of visualizing their identity
with the Mystery that is manifested as this Universe. Human beings forgetting
their nature to progress towards Godhood is akin to fire forgetting its
capacity to burn or water its nature to wet. Every human being has the capacity
to seek and secure the Truth of the Universe of which they are a part of; they
have the wherewithal to train themselves in virtue, justice, love and sympathy
to escape from the particular to the Universal.
