THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Prayer and contrition are the two disciplines by which the mind can be
cleansed of egoism and hatred; Saint Tyagaraja was a fine example of how this
can be done. His songs are pure fragrant blossoms of devotion. He sang
soulfully the glory of Rama, with the welfare of the individual as well as the
world in view. He was ever engaged in the process of examining his words and
deeds, and evaluating them on the touchstone of devotion. As the bee in quest
of honey wanders in search of the flowers, as the creeper clings fast and
fondly to the tree lest it may fall, as the stream runs to the river and the
river rushes to the sea, Saint Thyagaraja pined for Lord Rama. Lord Rama had to
give him personal audience (Darshan) and come to his rescue several times.
Through devotion,Tyagaraja ensured he experienced the Lord's constant presence
and always remained in peace and joy. (Divine Discourse, July 11, 1957)
