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)
