THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The demon Bhasmasura, through God's Grace earned the power to turn into
ash anyone by placing his hand on their head. However his instincts were not
tamed, his reasoning was not purified. Blinded by greed and egoism, he tried to
reduce the very Giver of the gift.Hence, unless you are extra careful to
examine the very process of reasoning, even while the process is on, there is a
big danger that you may be following only the trail that you yourself have laid
down. Reason can be tamed only by discipline; through compassion, calmness,
forbearance and endurance (Daya, Shantham, Kshama, and Sahana). Train your mind
to walk quietly along small stretches of road at first and then after you have
become sure of its docility, you can take it along safely down the tortuous
road of the sixfold temptations of lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride and
jealousy.
