THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
People suffer from two types of agony - the first one can be allayed
through others’ intercession and the second can be allayed only by your own
effort. For instance, hunger and thirst can be overcome only when you eat or
drink. However much others may eat, will it abate even an iota of your hunger?
So too, if your wife, mother or son offers to take an injection on your behalf,
can your illness be cured? The hunger and illness of your soul is also the
same. You must help yourself. The illness you face today is due to some
infection. Your illness is caused by the viruses of desire, anger, greed,
delusion, pride, jealousy (Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathsarya).
These viruses prevent your Divinity from shining forth; they cause discontent,
worry, grief and pain. You can overcome them by manifesting your inner
strength. Do not yield, fight them with the faith that you are eternal and
unconquerable. (Divine Discourse, Nov 26, 1964)BABA
