THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The Atmic consciousness that permeates every living being is referred to as Brahman. When it is individualised, it is called conscience. It is also referred to as Jiva. When the Atmic consciousness is encased in a body, it becomes an individual. The individual, the Atma and consciousness - all the three are one and the same. People think they are different because they are given different names. Remove the names, there is only one Consciousness in every individual. Supposing you name this object (showing a handkerchief) as Atma. It is a handkerchief in common parlance. I can call it threads or cotton. But essentially it is an object. Whatever name I may give, it refers to the same one object. There is only one Atmic consciousness in every individual. It has no form; it only assumes different forms.
(Divine Discourse, Oct 21, 2003)

Yesterday's thought
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)
