THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Prayer is for the mind, just as food is for the body. Wholesome food
gives health and strength to the body. Prayer purifies your mind and
strengthens your spirit. If bhajans are done in an ostentatious manner, ego
gets bloated. Young people must proceed from tamas, the darkness of ignorance,
to tapas, spiritual austerities. Be steadfast in pursuing whatever you choose.
There is no point in doing meditation for two days and giving up on the third
day. If you start practicing meditation, it must become an integral part of
your life. You cannot assume you are meditating by merely closing your eyes.
You must progress until you feel united with the God present within your heart.
Along with meditation, you must acquire the knowledge and skills to lead your
professional life. You must always maintain the same discipline and strength of
character, wherever you are. ("My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 5, Mar 11, 1984)
