THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Today people tend to go by the letter of the scriptures. The words of the scriptures should be interpreted and understood in the context of the prevailing time and circumstances. Then their real meaning will be clear. Also no one adheres to what one says or preaches. More than listening to spiritual discourses, one must try to practise at least a part of what one learns. Vedanta is being expounded at many places, not to speak of the discourses on the Gita. But how many understand the real spirit of the Gita and act up to its message? It is because of this dichotomy between preaching and practice that spiritual teachings are being treated with little regard. Only when the feelings emanating from the heart, the words coming out of the mouth and the actions one performs are all in perfect harmony will one's life be based on truth. (My Dear Students, Vol 3, Ch 6, June 27, 1989)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
There are many educated youth with multiple degrees. How do they put them to use? To earn money! Money does matter a lot in the present times. You need money even to go to the temple, to drink a cup of coffee or a bottle of water. However you must develop more humanness rather than just running after money. We are responsible for all problems around us. If you shape yourself into a good person and practice what you have learnt, the world would be a different place. Do not lead your lives with arrogance, pride and other wicked qualities. Instead, live your life with a sense of humility and obedience. You become pure, only when you get rid of your wicked qualities. To remove the pollution around you, you must have a pure mind. A pure mind is one that is without any doubts, selfless and steady. Only a pure mind can uphold the honour of a Nation. (My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 12, June 4, 2009)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
