THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Unaware of your Divine Status, you revel in low company, you toil and
sweat as the slave of mean passions, which drag you into disgrace. Be the royal
heir that you really are! Be like the lotus, which though born in the slush at
the bottom of the lake, through its sheer will-power, rises above the waters,
to see the Sun and be inspired by its rays. The lotus discards contact with
water, though it is born and bred in that element. So too, you should avoid
being attached to the elemental passions! How long are you to sit content with
the minor role of a clown or a clout? Have you no ambition? Why smother your
genuine talents under a self-imposed mask? Quit the zero roles today and take
on the role of the Hero and shine! This is your right!
