THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
To realize the truth of an Advent (Avatar), the aspirant must culture the
mind as the farmer prepares the field. The farmer clears thorny undergrowth,
wild creepers and tenuous roots from the field. Then, he ploughs the land,
waters it and the seeds are sown. The seedlings and tender plants are then
guarded from pests. To prevent destructions by goats and cattle, he erects a
fence. So too, the aspirant must remove egoism, pride and greed from the heart.
Truth, Repetition of the Lord’s Name and Meditation refer to ploughing and
levelling. Love is the water that must flow into the field of your heart to
make it fertile, soft and rich. Lord’s Name is the seed and devotion is the
sprout. Protect the seeds from the cattle of Kama and Krodha (desire and anger)
with the fence of discipline. Then you will reap bliss as the harvest. (Divine
Discourse, Nov 23, 1964)
