THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
When I sang the bhajan 'Manasa Bhajare...' I called on all those
suffering in the endless round of birth and death to worship the feet of the
Guru, the Guru that was announcing Himself, Who had come again for taking upon
Himself the burden of those who find refuge in Him. That was the very first
message of Mine to humanity! I said, 'worship in your mind'. I do not need your
flowers and fruits that you purchase for a small price. They are not genuinely
yours. Give Me something that is yours, something which is clean, fragrant with
the perfume of virtue and innocence, washed in tears of repentance. Garlands,
fruits, etc. are an exhibition of your devotion. Some can afford it, the poor
feel sorry that they cannot. Install the Lord in your heart and offer Him the
fruits of your actions and the flowers of your innermost thoughts and feelings.
That is the worship and expression of devotion God likes the most!
