THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
You know only the present that is happening before your eyes; you do not
realise that the present is related to the past and is preparing the course of
the future. Each birth wipes out the memory of the one already experienced. The
tree came from the seed and the seed from the tree and so on. You may not know
which came first, tree or seed, but you can easily put an end to the cycle by
frying the seed. You do not realise that the end of this cycle of birth and
death lies in your own hands. The scriptures and holy books serve this very
purpose. These are not meant to mislead you. That is not the desire of the
sages who wrote down these annals and their own experiences. It is to tell
mankind the truth about oneself.
