THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Often, in your ignorance, you feel small, you feel miserable, you feel
that the wicked, greedy and cruel people are all happier than you and
unjustifiably so. You are hurt and feel that it is unjust that you, who are so
truthful, so loving, so virtuous, should suffer. Just ponder over this. Are
they as happy as you imagine and is your condition, as bad as you portray it to
be? Investigate for a minute, and you will know the truth yourself. External
appearances are often like painted pots of poison. The hearts of people not
adhering to Right Conduct know no peace - they are probably as miserable as
you, if not more. Believe that Righteousness will never play false; it will
ensure greater joy than can be gained through all other means.
