THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Rama chose to go to the forest to fulfill the pledge of His father. It may be asked: Did He go to the forest under any compulsion or out of His own resolve, or with a sense of dissatisfaction? No. Rama set out for the forest with the same sense of serenity and joy with which He looked forward to His coronation. Rama demonstrated the spirit of equanimity. He showed that pain or pleasure, profit or loss, victory or defeat, were the same to Him. In human life, pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow alternate all the time. It is not a good quality to welcome pleasure and turn away pain. You must welcome sorrow in the same joyous spirit in which you greet happiness. Happiness has no value unless there is also sorrow. That is why it is said, "Pleasure is not secured from pleasure." Pain is needed to secure pleasure. Rama demonstrated to the world the truth of this concept (Divine Discourse, Apr 5, 1998)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
The Vedas taught two kinds of dharma (codes of right conduct). One is termed pravrithi (outward path) and the other is termed nivrithi (inward path). Pravrithi is related to worldly activities; it prescribes the qualities needed for leading the life in the mundane world. Nivrithi teaches knowledge of the Self (Atma-jnana). One who knows the difference between the two is dauntless. For example, when one is hungry, Pravrithi tells one to eat food and appease the hunger. Nivrithi reminds what kind of food one should eat, what is good for one's health and what is injurious, and how it should be consumed. All conflicts begin from your mind; it is Pravrithi that generates conflict, brings about union and separation. Ayodhya (a-yodhya) means a place free from strife and controversy; no enemy could enter it. The human heart is the symbol of Ayodhya. (Divine Discourse, Apr 5, 1998)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
