THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
When you feed the cow with fermented gruel so that it may yield more
milk, the milk emits an unpleasant smell. When you engross yourself too much
with the trifles of the world, your character and conduct will also become
unpleasant. It would indeed be tragic to witness the downfall of a 'child of
immortality', struggling in despair and distress. If only you were to ask
yourself: "What are my qualifications? What is my position? What are the
opportunities I am bestowed with?" Then you will soon realize your own downfall
and make efforts to recover. Will a tiger, however hungry eat popcorn or
peanuts? Stay focussed on the goal worthy of your lineage. Never slacken the
effort, whatever be the obstacle, however long the journey. Keep your efforts
on, in line with the dignity of your noble goals.
