THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Some consider themselves great because they have vast property or wealth. But the real wealth and genuine greatness is virtue which earns the grace of God. In the epic Mahabharatha, the Kauravas had everything that the world honoured and envied - arms, ambition, friends, allies, forces and riches. But God was not on their side, for they were wicked. In the end, they reaped disaster and disgrace. From this, you can infer that all the things that the world prides on having, are momentary pleasures. They appear to give happiness when they come, but leave us with grief when they disappear and the joy is temporary. However the grace of God persists without change at all times and all places. It is pure, uncontaminated, unchanging, complete and mighty. Endeavour to earn this grace and the joy that flows from it.

Yesterday's Thought
 
 
Date: Sunday, May 06, 2012
The scriptures teach, "Maathru devo bhava", meaning 'Revere your Mother as God'. You must revere your mother, who has brought you up with love, care and sacrifice. However famous one may be, if one does not honour their mother, they do not deserve respect. A person whose heart is so hard that it does not melt at the pleadings of the mother, deserves nothing but ridicule. This feeling of love and respect should also apply to the country which gave birth to you. You must hold your country in high esteem and follow its culture. Revere your own mother-tongue and learn to use it well. At the same time, you should not develop dislike or hatred against other languages or countries. Make yourselves a fit instrument to protect, love and care for your mother and motherland.
