THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 
Dwell always on noble thoughts. Develop attachment towards the Universal Lord and you will grow in love and splendour. The Lord is neither benignant nor malignant. He reflects to you, your own spiritual progress as Grace. Cultivate love towards Him. Likes and dislikes are truly the products of habit and training. The senses drag you away from Him, but do not yield; they will lie low soon. Sincere yearning born of steady discrimination alone can help you. The Divine wants the cream of virtue that is kept in the pot of your heart. This cream is the Soul (Atma), which is secured after vigorous churning. Offer to your Beloved Lord the fragrance of your virtues, the courage of your heart and the wisdom of your experience. That is what the Lord really wants. I bless you that you may grow in these from day to day.

Yesterday's Thought
 
Date: Saturday, December 17, 2011
 
Many commentators of the Geeta have interpreted that the giving up of the fruits of one's actions is advised because one has no right or authority to desire the fruits. This is a great blunder. When one has the right to engage in action, one also has the right over the fruits of that action; no one can deny or refuse this. But the doer can, out of one's own free will and determination, refuse to be affected by the result, whether favourable or unfavourable. The Lord has said in the Geeta, 'refuse the fruit' (maa phaleshu), which means, the deed does yields results, but the doer should not do it with the results in view. If Krishna's intention was to say that the doer has no right over the fruits of action, He would have said, 'It is fruitless' or 'na phaleshu,' (na, meaning no). To engage oneself in karma, knowing well that the result will follow, and yet being unattached to it or being unconcerned with it, is the sign of purity.
