THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Some are always worn out by ills that affect the body; they are called the Aarthas. There are others who are worried by the struggle for prosperity, power, property, fame, etc.; they are Artha-arthis. The third type are those that yearn for the realisation of the Atma, and such people read the scriptures, move in the company of spiritual aspirants, act along the lines of scriptures - sadachara (Right Conduct), and are always motivated to reach the Lord; they are called Jijnaasus. The fourth is the Jnani, who is ever immersed in the Divine. I am like the Kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling divine tree). My task is to give each what they ask for, without any prejudice or favouritism. Can any fault be imputed to the Sun shining its rays? The rays of the Sun fall equally upon all that are directly in their way; but if someone is behind something else, inside a closed room for instance, how can the Sun illumine them? Cultivate higher yearnings and receive accordingly!

Yesterday's thought
 
Date: Thursday, February 09, 2012
The best way to get rid of desire, anger and hatred is to strike at the very taproot of the tree - the mistaken belief that you are the body, with this name and form, senses, intelligence and mind. This is the luggage you are carrying. Don't you say, my nose, my book, my umbrella? Who is this 'I' that calls all these 'mine'? That is the real 'you'! It was present, when you were born, when you were sleeping forgetting everything else including your body and its afflictions. That 'I' cannot be harmed, it does not change, it knows no birth and death. Learn the discipline that makes you aware of this truth and you will be ever free and bold. This is true knowledge (atmavidya), which the preceptors and sages have gleaned for you. You too must, one day or the other learn this and save yourselves. All have to reach the goal, travelling along the path of wisdom.
