THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Consider your physical body a chariot. Just as the horse is important for the chariot, your mind is the most important thing for your body. What is the point if the chariot is very tastefully decorated and the horse is starved? Today, many of you are caring so much for the body and entirely neglecting the mind. Many have a very good, soft bed and stay in air-conditioned rooms, yet their body feels the heat and the mind is suffering from restlessness, with no peace of mind. Why? You are caring so much for the body and neglecting the mind. Take good care of the mind. If you do so, even if you go to a forest, it will be for-rest! The most appropriate food for your mind are virtues, good feelings, good conduct and good thought. Feed the horse well, the chariot will run! So too, take good care of your mind, you will be happy and peaceful.(Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 2.)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
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.)
