THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Since ancient times, emphasis has been laid on three aspects: work,
worship, and wisdom. What is wisdom? All that is related to our senses - the
fleeting objects of the material world and our actions, speak of our ignorance.
Wisdom dawns the moment the mind is withdrawn. The thoughtless state between
two consecutive thoughts is Spiritual Wisdom (Brahma Jnana). People are not
able to experience this thoughtless state and are carried away by fleeting,
ephemeral, and momentary things. All the knowledge that one acquires is not
true knowledge. Knowledge of the Spirit (Atma) is true knowledge. True wisdom
dawns when all thoughts are decimated. However all three of these - work,
worship, and wisdom, begin with service. No matter what service it is, if it is
done with love and divine feelings, it becomes upasana (worship).(Divine
Discourse, March 14, 1999)
