THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The pleasure one gets from physical, mental and intellectual pursuits is
transitory. Good deeds may grant heaven but it is a temporary habitation from
where a person has to journey down to earth to live life again. This is akin to
being elected to an important but short term public office. One may bask in the
glory and fame during the term of office, thanks to the votes cast in one’s
favour. However, once the term is over, one becomes an ordinary person again!
The game now starts all over again by repeating popular slogans to become more
popular and beg for votes to win the election. You must journey to reach the
terminus where ignorance dies and wisdom is born, resulting in no more birth
and death cycles. The mind is a fertile field for ignorance. Do not seek more
and more comfort and convenience (sukham), instead, seek wisdom. (Divine
Discourse, Oct 16, 1964)
