THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In this world, you must perform both great deeds and good deeds. The vagaries of modern life are rather mysterious and beyond understanding. They are called 'Dushta Chathushtayam or Akara Chatushtayam' (Evil Quartet) which comprise of: Lack of faith (Avishwasam), doubt (Anumanam), jealousy (Asuya) and ego (Ahamkaram). Lack of good character makes one develop bad thinking. Lack of faith leads to doubt. Today, many people are ready to trust a stranger on the street but refuse to believe the scriptures and noble commandments of great saints or their own parents. They do not believe even in the words of those that love and care for them. Be aware of these pitfalls and develop good conduct. For good conduct, truth and righteousness are essential. Undertake meritorious deeds with noble motives and immerse yourself in the feeling of love. (Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Chapter 1)

Yesterday's thought
Control your tongue as it always craves for a variety of delicacies. Ask yourself this question, "O tongue, how many bags of rice, wheat and vegetables, and delicacies have you tasted? Fie on you if you are still unsatisfied!" Eat sufficiently to satisfy your hunger and sustain your body, without giving undue importance to taste. Likewise, your eyes must see God instead of watching unsacred things on the television or video. May your ears listen to the stories of the Lord instead of vain gossip. All that you see and hear gets imprinted on your heart, and unsacred things pollute it. When your heart is polluted, life becomes meaningless. Human heart is like a pen. The colour of the words that you write will be the same as the colour of the ink in the pen. God expects you to fill your heart with love. Then, all that you think, say and do will be suffused with love and your life shall become sacred. (Divine Discourse, Aug 22, 2000)
