THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Spiritual knowledge cleanses the mind and helps us undertake good
actions. But that is not enough. The heart also should be pure. In the absence
of purity of heart, there can never be purity of the mind and intellect. We
should not give scope to the creepers of bad qualities to entangle the heart. A
creeper that goes around covering the tree ultimately smothers the tree itself.
One should ensure that the creepers of lust, anger, greed, and infatuation do
not get entangled to one’s own Self. The society will ultimately value purity
of heart more than all other achievements. One can escape from the house on
fire, but not from the senses which are ignited by the fire of evil qualities.
It is the foremost duty of every individual to keep their senses under control.
(Divine Discourse, Nov 19, 1998)
