THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The flower of forbearance (kshama) is very dear to the Lord. The Pandavas
suffered a lot at the hands of the Kauravas. But it was the virtue of
forbearance that protected the Pandavas and made them an ideal to the rest of
the world. The other flower that we must offer to God is Shanti (peace). One
should remain peaceful through all the vicissitudes of life. Only then can one
attain divine grace. Peace is needed at the physical, mental and spiritual
levels. Peace is not external, it is present within. You are the embodiment of
peace. In the worldly life, there are bound to be many hardships, but one
should not be perturbed. One should bear all sufferings with fortitude and
patience. Human life is given not merely to enjoy the worldly pleasures. Life
becomes meaningful only when one experiences the peace that originates from the
heart.(Divine Discourse, Aug 22, 2000)
