THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
You must use your intelligence to discover what is best under the circumstances and in the situation, considering the status and the profession which you have won. The barber should not treat all things equal and use his razor to peel vegetables, cut pencils and paper, bamboos and beards alike. Each instrument has its own special use and purpose; every individual has some skills and responsibilities. The king should be treated as a king and the farmer as a farmer. But make sure your activities leave no scar on your faith in Unity. Though in principle all is Brahmam, in dealing with them in day-to-day activity, you cannot follow the non-dual approach. There should be Bhaava-adhwaitha, not Karma-adhwaitha, that is to say, the underlying faith should be in the Unity of all, though the outer activity may be different for varied entities.

Yesterday's thought
Date: Saturday, June 23, 2012
Learn to acquire bliss and peace in your life by studying the scriptures, or from sages who have won them. Stick to the path assiduously, even if you received sharp criticism or callous condemnation. Never let cynical laughter or comments bother you; they can never harm a spiritual aspirant. Can a storm shake the Himalayan range? Let not your faith in the goal or the path, quake before trouble or trial, toil or travail, distress or despair. These are but passing clouds, casting temporary shadows, hiding for a little while, the glory of the sun or the moon. Do not get distracted by doubt or despondency. Build the mansion of your life on four firm pillars – virtue, wealth, desire and liberation (Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha) as laid down by the ancient sages, each pillar bound strong and safe with every other. Never allow these pillars to slant or tumble as some individuals, communities or nations are doing now.
