THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Bear in mind the company you keep. The great saint-poet Kabir once said, "I salute the bad and also the good". Kabir was asked, "We understand you offering salutations to the good, but why do you salute the bad?" He responded, "When I salute the bad, I am doing this with a prayer to remove themselves from my presence; I am saluting the good, requesting their presence before me." This is a profound statement. You must avoid bad company and cultivate the company of good. When you join with good people, you will be happy and you will confer happiness upon others. Strive to get rid of all your bad thoughts. Give up all your negative traits. Discharge your obligations to your parents. Render selfless service to the community. Redeem your lives by earning the Grace of the Lord. This is My blessing to all of you.(Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 3, Dec 29, 1985.)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
The path to God is difficult, but you can win. Let God do whatever He wants. Surrender to Him and say, "I brought nothing with me! Whatever You have given me, I offer it back to You." You may think your parents gave you the body. Who put life into your body? Who makes your heart tick incessantly? You may feed the body with tasty food but who digests all the food you eat? Who is the driving force behind the circulation of blood? God Himself regulates every single act within every living being. The eye that is not even an inch long can clearly perceive the stars, far away in the sky. Who gave this little eye, this big strength and power? God alone has conferred and is conferring everything upon you. With your little ego, you are confused that you are the doer. This is the greatest ignorance. Whatever He gives, accept it, it is for your highest good. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 4, April 22, 2000.)
