THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
A bullock cart cannot move on rails nor a locomotive on the road. Each
type of vehicle has its own type of road. But all move forward and reach the
goal in their own good time. Same is the case, whatever be your functional role
(Varna) in the society. Each Varna has its own set of rules, regulations and
restrictions. Be it the Varnas or Ashramas (the various stages of life with
their fixed duties), they are merely convenient arrangement for the conduct of
worldly affairs and paths to attain supra-worldly joy. Whether head or heels,
it is the same blood that circulates through each; it is the same body which
claims them as limbs. Each limb has to perform its task, the task for which it
has specialised. You cannot walk on your head or think with the feet. Whichever
section of society you may belong to, the Lord is revealed when the heart is
pure. (Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1964)
