THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
You take great care to see that the house that you own and live in is charming, impressive and comfortable! You get angry even if a poster is pasted on its walls. Then one day, you sell it. It is no longer the object of your attachment. Even if lightning strikes it, you are not disturbed! With the money you got, you purchase some fields. Now your attachment moves to the fields. Over a period of time, you sell them and put the money in a bank. Now, your attachment grows towards the bank account. Now what exactly is yours and what are you attached to? It is not the house, fields, or money; it is prestige, comfort, show, greed – things that arose in your mind as desires! Truly it is your ego that you are attached to. Each of you must take up some spiritual effort in order to cleanse the mind of lust and greed, of envy and hate.

Yesterday's thought
Date: Saturday, July 21, 2012
Desires and wishes go on multiplying; they never end. The fulfilment of one leads to a new series. Strive to arrive at the stage when His wish alone will count and you are an instrument in His hands. Do not cater to low desires; control your listening. The Gopis desired to listen only to glory and achievements of Krishna, His charm and pranks, His words and exploits. When you fill yourselves with love for God, you achieve saaruupya (likeness to the divine form you contemplate) and saayuujya (absolute merger). Strive for that consummation, not for lesser victories. Live with Love, in Love, for Love. Then the Lord who is Premaswaruupa (Divine Love personified) will grant you all that you need in spite of your not asking for anything.
