THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God does not expect you to perform rituals nor does He want you to study the scriptures. All that He desires from you is eight types of 'flowers'. God will be pleased with you and confer boons on you only when you offer Him these 'flowers' which are dear to Him. No benefit accrues from offering the flowers, which fade away and decay. Offer Him the eight flowers of nonviolence, control of senses, compassion, for­bearance, peace, penance, meditation and Truth (ahimsa, indriya nigraha, daya, kshama, shanti, tapas, dhyana and sathya). Your life will find fulfillment when you please God by offering Him these 'flowers'. Love is the undercurrent of all this. So lead a life suffused with love.

Yesterday's thought
Human life is highly sacred, most precious and Divine. Do not fritter it away by indulging in unsacred activities. All that you find outside is nothing but the reflection, reaction, and resound of your inner feelings. Life must be lived in the proper way by exercising control over the ten senses. Speak sweetly and softly. You cannot always oblige, but you can always speak obligingly. Pray for the well-being of all. Sanctify your senses by serving all. By exercising control over your senses, you can achieve anything in life. You may think that you have given away ten bags of rice in charity and distributed clothes to 500 people. Such accounts are to be submitted to the income tax department and not to God. God is not interested in quantity; He sees the feeling behind your acts. So, whatever acts of charity you undertake, do it with the spirit of love and sacrifice. (Divine Discourse, Aug 22, 2000)
