THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
All water is not potable. The stagnant pool is to be avoided, the flowing
river is better. Select safe and pure water to drink. Use the mosquito net, but
see that mosquitoes do not enter into the net, when you go to bed. Keep the
mosquitoes away; do not imprison them inside the net. Sail in the boat that
floats on water, but do not allow the water to enter the boat. So too, be in
worldly life, but do not allow it to get into you. The lotus born in slime and
mud rises up through water and lifts its head high above the water. It refuses
to get wet though water is the element which gives it life. Be like the lotus.
