THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Many take tea and coffee in excessive quantities; this kill the body's capacity to sleep. Drivers who drive vehicles during nights take excessive tea and students who are preparing for exams also do the same. Do not avoid sleep, this is a great mistake. A person can live without food, but not without sleep. Many students have the habit of studying through the night and sleeping during the day. Most living beings, including birds and beasts, sleep during the night. A person, who reads in the night as a habit, is cultivating Rajasic and Tamasic qualities. Change this habit slowly. If you read throughout the night and sleep through the day, your retention of what you studied will not be very strong. If you must put in hard work, get up early, say 3 or 4 a.m. and study. After early morning study, do not go and sleep again. This is the Sathwik way of life. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 2)

Yesterday's Thought
When the Goddess of Wisdom, Mother Saraswathi enters our hearts, our faces glow. She is full of Divinity, radiance and knowledge. Hence every educated person who has received Her blessings should always be cheerful. Never put on a 'castor-oil-face'. Be full of joy. You must also be an embodiment of obedience and humility, with no trace of anger, ego or jealousy. Speak only the Truth and follow righteousness. The castle of righteousness is built upon truth. We often get into trouble only due to our attachments to the body. Your body at some point of time degenerates into a house full of dirt, a basket full of diseases. The body and mind are impermanent. Until you live, firmly believe that body is the temple of God and keep it as clean and pure as possible. When you spend your life with such noble ideas, you will not have any bad thoughts, words or actions. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 1)
