05-11-2011-THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today

Date: Saturday, November 05, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY At the gates of liberation (Moksha) and Self-realisation (Sakshathkara), three guards are posted to ask you for your credentials. They are: Peace or mental equilibrium, Joy or contentment, and enquiry or discrimination (Santhi, Santhosha, and Vichara). Even if one of the guards is made friends with, the others too will facilitate your entry. First in the series is peace. If you make peace yours, contentment (Thrupthi) will automatically become yours! Contentment is the true source of joy and the most valuable of all possessions. In the absence of contentment, desire and greed attain dangerous proportions overwhelming the power of discrimination itself. Desire easily becomes greed which then degenerates into miserliness and lust. These will makes you flit from object to object in mad pursuit of the evanescent sensual joy. Hence advise your mind to flow in the direction of the Lord, instead of dragging you along the floods of objects and sensual desires. Giving up all other desires and being ever content, dwell on His name and form alone. -BABA

03-11-2011-THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today

Date: Thursday, November 03, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Meditation must be followed rigorously. In fact Dhyana (Meditation) means "discipline" and, regularity and steadiness are the essential tools for it. Lord Krishna assured, "When you start fixing your thoughts on Me, all thoughts that agitate you will be stilled through My grace." Meditation is a first class cure for the illness of worldly existence (Bhava-roga). But along with it, also take the medicine "contentment". Just as a traveller who has trudged along for miles in the scorching sun feels refreshed when taking bath in the waters of a cool and shady lake, so too the unfortunate individual struggling in the scorching heat of desires, feels happy and relieved when bathing in the lake of contentment. Meditate regularly and practice contentment in your mind; anyone who follows this rigorously will achieve quick results.   -BABA
