THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Always help the poor and those suffering and in distress. Once upon a
time, in Tamil Nadu, lived a poet saint who squatted on the small veranda of
his hut and chanted beautiful songs to the Lord. One day, it was raining
heavily. Another man came and asked him if he could also take shelter there.
The devotee said, “There was place just enough for me to stretch out, but now
that you are here we will both sit erect.” Later, another man came and asked
for shelter. The devotee again agreed, saying “There was place for the two of
us to sit. Now that you also have come, let us all stand.” He thus taught the
principle of helping everyone and not sending anyone away who needed help, even
when the means are limited. Cultivate this attitude of sharing with others any
good thing you have. Thus you can practice daily, the great principle of
finding God in every being. (Divine Discourse,“Summer Showers in Brindavan:
1972”, Ch 21)
