THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Lord Jesus Christ gave the following example while teaching His fishermen
disciples: 'In a river the water is flowing in a swift current. But the tiny
fishes are able to swim in it and move about merrily, despite the speed of the
current. In the same river, a huge elephant caught in the rapids, is likely to
get washed away or drowned in spite of its enormous size. The elephant just
cannot survive there! The reason is: What you need for survival in a river is
not being large, but the ability to swim. Likewise a person who is caught up in
the ocean of worldly existence needs, not so much metaphysics, scholarship or
wealth, as much as the grace of Divine love.' Without any knowledge of Vedanta,
one can still surmount all the problems of life if one is blessed with God's
love. Hence, remember the Lord with Love, worship Him with Love and sanctify
your life with Love.
