THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Do not aspire to be a servant of God, working for wages; you reduce yourself to that level if you ask for this and that from Him in return for the praise that you offer or the sacrifice you do! Also, let go of the bargaining attitude in your mind, and do not feel disappointed that God did not give you desirable objects in return for all the troubles you took to please Him. Do not calculate profit, do not count on returns, do not plan for the consequences! Do, since it is your duty and you have to do! That is true puja (worship). Dedicate the deed as well as the consequences to Him. Then you become His own and not a labourer demanding wages. That is the highest level a devotee (bhaktha) can attain through sadhana (spiritual effort).

Yesterday's Thought
 
 
Date: Thursday, May 03, 2012
Cultivate an atmosphere of love and co-operation with one and all, and you can ensure joy for ever more. Do not seek arguments to keep away from others; seek rather ways of working together for the common good. The sense of 'I' and 'mine' scotch love and co-operation. Reduce them to the minimum and then start serving the needy and the distressed. Develop character as well as intelligence and health. The most reliable source of strength is not in money, or kinsmen, or physical acumen, but in yourself, the Atman. Delve deep and draw sustenance from it; see it in all; serve it in all. Discipline is another key trait. Every individual and every nation must learn to control the wild nature of passions and emotions; yielding to them brings only ruin. Discipline, self-control, desire to serve - these are the weapons that even the weakest can use, and win the battle of life.
