THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
A green gourd sinks in water, but a dry one floats. Become dry - rid
yourselves of attachments, desires, and avoid anxieties and worries. Then you
can float unaffected on the waters of change and chance. Even water, when it
becomes steam, can rise into the sky. Be free from the desires that drag you
down; have only the yearning to come face to face with the Truth. The truth is
shining inside you, waiting to be discovered. God is your Indweller and so when
you seek Him outside, He cannot be caught. Look for Him within you. Love Him
with no other thought, and feel that without Him, nothing is worth anything.
Feel that He is all. Then you become His and He becomes yours. There is no
kinship nearer than that!
