THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A young woman today aspires to be a good wife but not an exemplary mother. A student today does not aspire to be an exemplary father, but an attractive husband. Adding to this woe, parents today encourage such education which promotes these aspirations. Youngsters also forget their responsibilities to be discharged as exemplary parents. A typical father in today's society does not want his son, above all, to be a man of virtue. He wants him to be a man of great education. Those parents alone, who aspire for transforming their children to be men and women of virtue, are worthy. Worldly education alone should not be the goal of life. Virtues are the true backbone of life. Education must be for life, not merely for a living. To accomplish this, spiritual thoughts and spiritual path is highly essential. (My Dear Students, Vol 3,Ch 4, June 26, 1989)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
All of you have two desires – Shreyas and Preyas. People are attracted by all kinds of objects in the world. People seek only those that will please the senses. Deriving pleasure from time to time through sense organs is described as Preyas. Preyas is not enduring, it is like a mirage. Sensuous pleasures are momentary and leave a trail of pain behind. However, from the learned to the illiterate, most people seek only such fleeting and unreal pleasures. Indulgence in sensual pleasures lead to bad practices and wrong conduct. You must graduate from Preyas to Shreyas. Shreyas means overcoming the demands of the senses and achieving spiritual bliss. All actions connected to the soul are related to Shreyas, while Preyas is related to the body. (My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 9, Feb 24, 2005)
