THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Do not merely boast of your knowledge of the scriptures and that you have read it a hundred times over and learnt by heart the commentaries so far written upon them. Reflect upon this fact - of all the millions that lived, why is it that Arjuna alone had the Vishwarupa Darshana (Vision of the Cosmic form)? It is because he had reached the highest stage of surrender. At the appropriate time, Krishna started the lessons on Bhagavad Gita and progressively, Arjuna's surrender, yearning and unexcelled concentration grew. And then Arjuna was blessed with the universal manifestation of the Lord. Unless one attains that same degree of surrender and yearning, how can that result be expected? The cycle of birth and death cannot be got rid of by scholarship. Hence start with this first lesson. Cleanse your mind and journey to the realm where you see God in everyone, everywhere, at all times, through uninterrupted remembrance of your chosen Lord. This is the most effective spiritual practice.

Yesterday's thought 
Date: Sunday, June 03, 2012
Take time to introspect. The grief you cause to others will suffocate you after getting hardened to hatred. It will recoil on your own head with tenfold force. So avoid causing pain to others and be vigilant to not allow pain to yourself as well. Then you will attract the grace of God. You cannot be successful in your pursuit for Divinity if you contrive by tricks to cause harm to others, or revel in the misery of others, or concentrate only on your own happiness and progress, unmindful of the injury you cause to others. Dhanam (riches) and Daivam (Divinity) cannot be joint ideals. Darkness and Light cannot exist at the same time and in the same place.
