THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Every individual, every family, every society and every nation seeks peace in all possible ways. People are perpetually in quest of happiness. But what is the happiness they seek? Is it worldly happiness and transient pleasures? These cannot confer true happiness. Only spiritual happiness can give true happiness. Why have people lost happiness? It is because they are afflicted with insatiable desires. These desires are the cause of various maladies. It is only by limiting desires and thereby eliminating the diseases arising from them that one can secure peace. Every person should strive in every way to achieve peace as the most desirable objective. Embodiments of Love! There is no greater happiness than contentment (Santhosham). There is no penance superior to peace of mind.
(Divine Discourse, Feb 13, 1997)

Yesterday's thought
You are under the mistaken notion that you are rendering service to others. You should give up such a feeling. Only then does the service you perform become real service in the strict sense of the term. Service does not merely mean helping others. The best way to love God is to love all and serve all. Your acts of service should be suffused with the spirit of love. Without the positive aspect of love, all service you render becomes negative in nature. All bodies are like bulbs and love is the main switch. Only when the main switch is pressed, will the bodies radiate light and happiness to one and all. You are switching off the main switch and trying to enjoy happiness. It is impossible! Hrid + Daya (compassion) = Hridaya (heart). Your heart should be filled with compassion. All your activities should be suffused with love. There is no strength superior to love.
 (Divine Discourse, Jan 1, 2003)
