THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Love is the eternal principle that is present in all. But people are expressing their love for selfish purposes. You should eschew selfishness and self-interest, and develop the spirit of sacrifice with courage and conviction. How can you become courageous? It is possible only when you practice righteousness (Dharma). Many noble persons have sacrificed their lives for the cause of Dharma and never craved for name and fame. Sacrifice (Thyaga) is true Yoga. You too should practice this Yoga and become deserving of Divine Grace. Any activity done with a business-mind will not make you happy. Enquire within yourself and develop the spirit of sacrifice. Only then there will be a transformation of heart. So long as you do not give up selfishness, you cannot achieve anything worthwhile in life. You should cast aside selfishness and cultivate selflessness.
(Divine Discourse, Nov 22, 2003)

Yesterday's thought
The same, nameless, formless and attributeless Divinity is referred to as Atma, Brahman or Vishnu by different people. The underlying principle (Atma Tattwa) is one and the same. Take the example of a house. In the front portion of the house, you will find a verandah, then a living room and also a kitchen. Thereafter, you will find a bathroom and a toilet too. Thus, there are different names for different utilities. How did they acquire these names? It is only because they are so divided by walls, for different purposes. But the truth is they are all parts of the same house. Similarly, different people have different names and they establish different relationships with many people like mother, father, brother, etc. From where did these relationships come? Everything is your own making. Remove these barriers. What then remains is a vast expanse of Oneness.
(Divine Discourse, Oct 21, 2003)
