THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
With a little reasoning you can know for yourself the path you need to
take, thereafter, it can be trodden step by step until the goal is reached.
Whatever be the path, retain this knowledge that attachment causes pain and
detachment results in joy. But you cannot easily detach yourself from activity;
the mind clings to something or other. Make it cling to God, let it do all
things for God and leave the success or failure, the loss and the profit, the
elation or the dejection, to God. Then you have the secret of peace and
contentment. To get this attitude of surrender and dedication, you must have
Faith in God. God, whose play this world is. This world is not an empty dream;
it has a purpose and use. It is the means by which one can discover God. See
Him in the beauty, the grandeur, the order and the majesty of Nature.
