THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
A small lump of steel can become a beautiful and efficient watch through
the application of intelligence and skill. Can not a human being be transformed
into one who has realised the Ultimate through the application of the tools of
discrimination and detachment? Have faith in yourself, your own capacity to
adhere to a strict time-table of sadhana, your own ability to reach the goal of
realisation. When you have no faith in the wave, how can you get faith in the
ocean? Do not give ear to what others say. Believe your experience; what gives
you peace and joy, the bliss of Aathma anandham - the joy of the Inner Self.
Believe in that. That is the real basis for faith.
