THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 Avatar Declaration Day
 
People suffer from two types of ills - physical and mental. Physical ailments are caused by the dis-equilibrium of the three tempers of Vata, Pittha and Sleshma (air, bile and phlegm) and mental illnesses are caused by the dis-equilibrium of the three qualities of serenity, passion and inertia (Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas). One unique fact about these two types of illnesses is that the cultivation of virtue cures both the diseases. Physical health and mental health are interrelated. Physical health is a prerequisite for mental health and good mental health ensures physical well-being. An attitude of generosity, of fortitude in the presence of sorrow and loss, a spirit of enthusiasm to do good, and to be of service to the best of one's capacity - these build up the mind as well as the body. The sheer joy derived from service reacts on the body and makes you free from diseases.
(Divine Discourse, Sep 9, 1959)

Yesterday's thought  
The path of wisdom is much easier than the path of devotion â€" for it comes as a flash to those who can just sit quiet for a few minutes and analyze themselves. A car moves on its four wheels and the person who drives it, is inside, not outside; the driver within the car guides the speed of the engine, the brakes and the accelerator. So too, let your intellect, mind and senses be guided, from within. Board the train of Salokya - the constant remembrance of the Lord's Name. This will take you to the next station, Sameepya - nearness and dearness to the Lord. The next halt will be at Saarupya, where you acquire and earn divine attributes, and finally you will reach the terminus, which is Saayujya, where you merge with the divine and experience yourself as but a wave in the ocean (Paramathma).
(Divine Discourse, Oct 16, 1964)
