THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
People are deluded by unlimited desires. They live in a dream world,
forgetting the Supreme Consciousness. It is very important to keep desires
under control and place a ceiling on them. Instead of inordinately spending for
our own pleasure, we should offer money for the relief of the poor and needy.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that giving away your money for good and
noble purposes is all that is needed to practice ceiling on desires. While
giving to the needy is good, it is equally important that you do not allow your
own desires to continue to multiply; both should happen. You must curtail your
desires, as materialistic desires lead to a restless and disastrous life.
Desires are a prison. You can be freed only by restraining your wants. Limit
them to only what you truly need in life. This is the real meaning of 'Ceiling
on Desires'. (Divine Discourse, Nov 21, 1988)
