THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Difficulties and pain help one to nurse and build the capacity for
patience and forbearance. However, due to mental weakness and ignorance, people
invariably shun painful experiences and distress. Do not be weak; be brave and
welcome troubles. Let them come; more the merrier. Only with such a courageous
attitude can you bring out the kshama (forbearance) hidden within you. Can you
get promoted to a higher class without passing an examination? It is only when
you secure the prescribed marks and pass the examination, you are declared
eligible to advance to the higher class. While preparing for the examination
you have to face stress and many difficulties but how sweet the promotion is!
So welcome troubles as tests that prepare you for higher things and be happy
when troubles descend on you, because that is when kshama truly blossoms.
(Divine Discourse, May 25, 2000)
BABA
