THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The observance of morality in daily life, the divinization of all actions
and thoughts related to life, and adherence to ideals - all of these together
constitute culture. Culture means that which sanctifies the world, which
enhances the greatness and glory of a country, and which helps to raise the
individual and society to a higher level of existence. The process of
refinement or transformation is essential for improving the utility of any
object or life. For instance, paddy has to be milled and its husk removed
before the rice is fit for cooking. This is called Samskriti or transformation.
This means, doing away with unwanted elements and securing the desirable ones.
With regard to people, Samskriti (culture) means getting rid of bad qualities
and cultivating virtues. The cultured person is one who has developed good
thoughts and good conduct. (Divine Discourse, Jan 14, 1990)
