THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
You may go through sacred texts, offer all sorts of prayers to all Gods
and perhaps be in a thick forest or in the safest place, but you cannot run
away from your destiny. Just like you may immerse a container in a small lake
or a large ocean, but you cannot collect more water than what the container can
hold. Without the strength of righteousness, physical and intellectual strength
are of no avail. Examine for yourself - what happened to the mighty Karna (in
the epic Mahabharata)? Though he had the intellect and physical valour, he
joined the bad company of Duryodhana, Dushasana and Shakuni, and therefore came
to be known as the fourth wicked person. So never be in bad company who will
lead you to entertain bad thoughts and indulge in inappropriate actions. To
earn the special grace of God, you must be in good company and do good deeds.
Then God will make your container bigger to harvest His Grace! (Divine
Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 3, Ch 3, June 30, 1996)
