THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The lotus in your heart pines for the Sun, the splendour of the Loving
Lord. To attain Him requires effort. Withdrawal of all attachment towards the
world and cultivation of Divine Love alone can win it. God is the nearest and
dearest entity, but ignorance hides Him away from the eye. The stars appear as
dots of light, for they are at great distances from us. Just as the stars, God
appears insignificant or ineffective to many, because they are keeping
themselves too far away from Him. If some believe that God is not present or
visible, it only means that they are at a too great a distance to be aware of
Him. The love that God bears for each and every one is unequalled.
