THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Proceed ever towards strength (balam). Do not take to untruth,
wickedness, and crookedness - all of which denotes a fundamental fatal trait of
cowardice and weakness (bala heenam). Weakness is born of accepting as true, a
lower image of yourself than what the facts warrant. That is the main mistake.
You believe you are the husk, but you really are the kernel. All spiritual
practices must be directed to the removal of the husk and the revelation of the
kernel. So long as you say, "I am so and so", there is bound to be fear. Once
you say and feel "I am Divine" (Aham Brahmasmi), you get unconquerable strength.
