THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
There was once an old woman in Paris. It was winter and December was around the corner. Many poor people were sleeping on the streets and shivering with cold. She went around the streets and covered them with a blanket. She completed the job without any fuss or noise. Over time, the people in the town came to know about it. They wondered why this humble old woman who was herself struggling to make her ends meet setting out to help others! When children used to ask her, "Grandma, why are you walking with your head down? You are a great person!" she would respond humbly, "God is giving us everything with many hands, and I am giving with a single hand. Is that not a shame for me?" Many great people world over, have placed before us the high ideals of charity. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 4.)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
Many people try to do Hata Yoga or try to develop Kundalini Shakthi and so on. Some invoke evil spirits to harm others. These forms of spiritual practices are not Satwik. God is the Eternal Absolute (Sat) and the individual is Consciousness (Chit). When these two (Sat and Chit) merge, you have bliss (Ananda). Your spiritual practices must help you to realize this bliss (Sat-chit-ananda). Only such practices deem to be called Sadhana. Where is God (Sat)? God is present in everyone. So always be prepared to serve everyone, regarding them as Divine. Your spiritual practices (Sadhana) must help you cultivate the feeling of Universal Love and adoration for the Divine that embraces everyone. There is no higher spiritual practice than the cultivation of Love. Hence, intensify your spiritual practices in the spirit that the one God pervades the many forms in the Universe. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 3)
