Date: Thursday, May 31, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY All the variety in taste, colour, smell of the multiform food items, when considered fairly and squarely, are mere drugs to cure the illness of hunger; all the drinks that man has invented are but medications to alleviate the disease of thirst. Most people today suffer from an ailment of the senses and they try the quack remedies of recreation, pleasures, picnics, banquets, dances only to find that their fever has not subsided. This illness will subside only when the invisible virus is rendered ineffective and that will happen only when the rays of jnaana (wisdom) fall upon it. A true doctor interested in curing you of all illness, will advise what is hitha (beneficial) for you to restore your health, instead of that which is priya (pleasant); your Guru is such a doctor. Obey Him, even when His prescription is unpalatable, for your fever can be cured only by Him. Prefer the beneficial to the pleasant, for the pleasant might lead you down the sliding path into the bottomless pit. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba   Yesterday's thought   Date: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 I must condemn the absence of gratitude which is rampant amongst people today. People today are humble and obedient until their wishes are fulfilled. Once their desires are satisfied, they sometimes even try to ruin the person who helped to realize it. This behaviour does not befit human beings. One must be conscious of benefits derived and be eager to repay the debt, or at least be keen to avoid causing harm to the person who helped them while in distress. Today however, with pomp and pride, people reveal that they are ignorant, filled with egoism and conceit. Running after momentary joy, they exile themselves from the Kingdom of God. The value of human birth is to attain divinity. Contemplate on this unique good luck of a human birth you are gifted with. Dedicate your days to thoughts of God, and to ideas that elevate and inspire. Welcome opportunities to express gratitude, broaden your heart and deepen your faith.   - Sri Sathya Sai Baba
