THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
All of you have seen a map of the world, is it not? How little is India
in this map? Compared to India, Andhra Pradesh is small. The district of
Anantapur is still tinier. In this district, Puttaparthi is virtually a
microscopic dot on the map. Now you as a person residing in Puttaparthi are
practically so insignificant. Then how can you suffer from ego? Remember, God
is all around you. There is no meaning at all in being egoistic. You may feel
proud that you are educated; there are more educated people than you. You may
think you are beautiful; there are any number more beautiful than you. Maybe
you are good at singing; there are several who can sing better than you. Why
are you then so proud of yourself? This is mere ignorance. Do not give place to
ego. Become egoless, give up pomp and show. Be selfless and lead a life that
befits an educated person. Always, Help Ever, Hurt Never. (Divine Discourse,
"My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 1)
