THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 
The master of the house makes all the elaborate arrangements for a marriage in the family. He plans meticulously for the wedding ceremony, the reception, the menu, the illumination, the music, the decoration, etc.. These are very exciting when they are being planned and even while they are executed. But in the end when the bills arrive, will the master still be happy? In quite a few places, after the event is done, there may even be angst, disgust and grief. Isn't it known from such experience that there is more joy in the actual doing than in the result that accrues. So it must be easy to discard the fruits of action, provided you spend some thought on the process of karma (performing action), and the worth of its fruit.

Yesterday's thought       
 
A devotee of Hanuman was once driving a cartload of grain to the market. On the way, one wheel got stuck and the cart could not be drawn forward. The cart slanted too, and a few bags fell on the ground. The devotee sat on the cart and started praying to Hanuman. He completed chanting the 108 names and even the 1008 names. When nothing happened, he started blaming the Lord and reviling Him for not rescuing him. Hanuman then appeared and took him to task! "Young man, instead of doing your duty by applying your strength on the job, you sat there, prayed and started reviling Me!" Come on, put your shoulder to the wheel and lift it up chanting My name! First contribute self-effort," said the Lord. You must use all the talents awarded to you in a prayerful and humble mood. Until then, you have no right to seek the help and intervention of the Lord.
