THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
You must take care of your body, which is the case for the Divine Spark,
until its purpose of Self-Realization is fulfilled. But its nourishment and
care should not overshadow the attention due to the mind, its purification and
sublimation. Now the body is nourished with breakfast in the morning, lunch at
noon, snack break at 4 PM and dinner at night. The body is the cart and the
mind is the horse that drags it. Unfortunately no food is given to the horse,
which is really the more valuable of the two. Give the mind and culturing of
the mind, the importance it deserves, only then life is worth living. The mind
has to be hale and hearty, joyous and peaceful, free from agitations and
worries. You can keep it happy by recitation of holy names and doing noble acts
that helps the wellbeing of all. This will confer you everlasting joy.
