THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A true hero is the steady person who is not agitated in the least, by ups and downs caused by roaring waves on the sea of life. Such a person never loses poise; it becomes part of one's nature! The one who keeps to his schedule of spiritual discipline whatever be the attractions or distractions, is a wise person, also referred to as Dheera. Dhee means Buddhi (intellect), and this the true quality of man. It is not the attire or the moustache that marks out the 'hero'. True humanness blossoms with the rejection of the duality of joy and sorrow, and all your exploit should be to conquer the two. Your victory should be over internal foes, rather than external ones. Then the gain you acquire is immortality! Things of the world cannot confer that state of bliss. When you truly and steadily rise above joy and grief, the bliss you attain is absolute, independent and full.

Yesterday's Thought
 
Date: Tuesday, December 06, 2011
 
Happiness makes one forget one's obligations to oneself as a human being. It drags one into egoism leading to committing of sins. Happiness draws a veil over experiences that make one tough. It also spends out one's stock of merit and arouses baser passions. On the other hand, grief renders man alert and watchful. Misery makes one think and leads to self-improvement. It also endows one with new and valuable experiences, and highlights the value of happiness. Realize that happiness and misery are inseparable and you cannot choose only one. Treat troubles and travails as your friends; at least, do not see them as your enemies! It is best to regard both happiness and misery as gifts of God. That is the easiest path for one's own liberation.
