THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
People are blinded by the objective world and they believe that world to
be real, meaningful and worthy of pursuit. The cataract grows in the eye and
robs it of its efficiency. Ignorance is the cataract of the inner eye. It hides
the true vision and blinds the intellect such that one cannot see that Divinity
is their real nature. Ignorance misleads you and makes you believe that you are
an ordinary human (manava), when in reality you are God (Madhava). Of what use
is the eye, when the vision is not correct? You have focussed too long on
riches, status, children, relatives, fame and standard of living. All of these
are of minor interest and momentary value. Fix your urge on the Truth, Eternal,
the Real, the Pure and Immovable (Nithya, Sathya, Nirmala and Nischala) - the
Divinity present within you and around you.
