| Date: Saturday, November 12, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY This day you have resolved to imbibe Divine Bliss by reciting the glory of God in chorus and with music, continuously for twenty-four hours (Akhanda Bhajan). This programme will yield good results. For in this busy age of fear and anxiety, the remembrance of God and the repetition of His name is the single means of liberation that is accessible to all. Bhajan (devotional singing in a group) is more important than even bhojan (food). Bhajan is a good disciplinary process by which desire and anger can be kept away. This day-long bhajan will generate divine vibrations and purify. I bless those who breathe this vibration to be healthier and more upright in their behaviour. Be united in remembering God and encourage one another as you proceed along the path; then success is assured. -BABA |

| Date: Friday, November 11, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The power of the divine name is unparalleled. People often take it lightly; that is a mistake. God's name is the real diamond - 'Die mind'. Keep it safe and secure. Whoever does namasmarana, (Repetition of God's Name) whatever be the name they take and wherever they are, their life will be sanctified and they will be free from sin. Do not be too concerned about the tune and rhythm (raga and thala). Chant the divine name wholeheartedly and with complete faith. Faith develops love for God. Namasankirtan (singing of God's name) when done with absolute concentration and steady faith like a yogi, will help achieve great transformation. Fix your mind steadily on the divine name and attain bliss. -BABA |

10-11-2011-THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
| Date: Thursday, November 10, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY JDo not worry about the unsatisfactory environment you may be in. Of course, sometimes the place you are in may have drawbacks and may not be ideal. But it is of no use trying to run away from it. You can overcome any obstacle by training your own mind. Stay in your environment and pray to the Lord that He may fill you with His thoughts and vision, enabling you to ignore the defects of your surroundings. Do not seek comfort, for it might not be conducive to meditation. Learn to be comfortable in any place; that is better. Live in joy wherever you are for that is the way. Revel in the realm of your mind, worship there the Lord you have chosen as your goal and be free of all the defects of your natural or human environment! Then no spot will be irksome to you, nor will any place seem disgusting. -BABA |

09-11-2011-THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
| Date: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Just as fish can live only when it is immersed in water, so too man is an animal that can live well only when immersed in bliss (Ananda). One must have Ananda not only at home and society but more importantly, in the heart as well. In fact the Ananda in the heart spreads joy all around. The heart is the spring of bliss which has to be charged by constant meditation, recitation and the intermittent dwelling on the glory, the grace and the manifestations of the Lord (Smarana, Chethana and Manana). Without giving way to doubt or despair, hold fast to the goal and never turn back. The one devoted to God knows no failure. The Name of the Lord, if taken sincerely will help you overcome all obstacles. When the Saviour is by your side, why doubt whether you will be saved? -BABA |

08-11-2011- THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
| Date: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY See the Lord in every being; be aware of Him every moment of existence and be immersed in the Ananda (bliss) of this awareness. Merged in the relationship born out of profound devotion to Him, surrender your wish and will to act; the attitude, the activity and the fruit of the action as well - offer to the Lord everything from beginning to the end. That is, perform all actions in a spirit of worshipful non-attachment. This is what the Lord seeks from each and every devotee. Of course, such complete surrender is not easy. But if you make the slightest effort towards it, the Lord Himself will confer the courage to pursue it to the end. He will walk with and help you as a friend and guide; He will guard you from evil and temptations; He will be your staff and support. -BABA |

| Date: Monday, November 07, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Remember that contentment will not make one an idler. It is an attribute of true pure (Sathwic) character. It will make the mind turn always towards the Lord. It will save you from the tribulations one goes through to satisfy unimportant wants and to cater to selfish needs. It will direct human talents towards efforts that elevate. The contented person will also be truthful and will therefore be in constant communion with the Atma. That is to say, such a person can be immersed in meditation for long periods without rest or feeling fatigued. Contentment is the royal road to meditation. -BABA |
