THOUGHT FOR THE DAY AS WRITTEN AT PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAY Date: Monday, June 24, 2013 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Arjuna's dejection was a case of finely disguised egoism. He was a hero until he came to the battlefield and became a coward. It was all about 'I and Mine'; "I will go to hell, I would rather beg, I will not fight my uncle, my Guru, my cousin, etc." 'I and mine' are two poison fangs; they have to be removed to make you harmless. Krishna counselled Arjuna: "You are not killing, so don't be conceited, they are deathless; the death sentence on their bodies has already been pronounced and you are merely executing God's will!" Krishna made Arjuna aware of himself and removed his delusions. Arjuna realized that he was but an instrument in the hands of the Lord. You too must learn from that lesson, for otherwise, there will be no end to your misery. Always pray Thamaso maa jyothirgamaya - Lead me from darkness to light. Egoism is darkness (thamas); Surrender (Sharanagathi) is light. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba ---------------------------------------- www.saibabaofindia.com   "SBOI"     Date: Sunday, June 23, 2013 Yesterday's thought   The gods once imagined that they were able to get victory over the demons because of their own prowess. When they were celebrating the victory, a deity appeared before them and cast a blade of grass on the ground. It asked Agni (God of fire) to burn it; but he could not. It challenged Vayu (God of Air) to lift it, but he could not. It provoked Varuna (God of Water) to wet it, but, in spite of his best efforts, he could not. Then when their pride had been pricked, the deity taught them the Brahma Vidya (science of Brahman), which reveals the inner source of all strength. This is no ordinary story; Agni is the presiding deity of vaak (speech) and so it tells us that speech has to be humble, that it derives its power only from the basic Universal Principle. Vaayu is prana (the vital air). Humility in behaviour and practice are all that count, especially in Sadhana. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba ---------------------------------------- www.saibabaofindia.com   "SBOI"               Join Us on Facebook Just a reminder, if you are on Facebook then you should join our Sai Ram Facebook-page.
