THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
God will not be attracted by learning, wealth or material possessions.
God is drawn only by devotion. Take to Him, any troubles you have - He will
accept all of them and fill you with joy. God loves every devotee. He accepts
you for who you are. He is aware of all the difficult situations, trials and
tribulations you go through and your devotion to Him, which gives you so much
happiness. However, this devotion alone is not enough. What is needed is the
regulation of that Divine Love, in the form of virtue and service. Do not
criticise others, rather criticize yourself. Have the Name of the Lord on your
tongue and the Form of the Lord before your eye. If you shape yourself this
way, the place where you live will be the holiest of all. Let all your
activities be directed only towards this purification in your hearts. I bless
each and every one of you with success, in this noble effort!
