Sakhubai, an ardent devotee of Lord Panduranga, went to saint Namadeva and submitted, "Master, I make so many cow dung cakes, but people are stealing them. I need to earn a livelihood by selling these, but very little is left for me to sell. What do I do?" Namadeva smilingly asked her, "How do you know that those stolen are your cow dung cakes?" Sakhubai promptly answered, "Master, I make them thinking and reciting Lord Panduranga's name all the time; my feelings are reflected in them and they give amazing results!" She then asked Namadeva to break and listen to one cake. Everyone around Namadeva were greatly astonished to hear the inanimate cowdung cake reverberating with Panduranga's name with the correct pitch, tune and rhythm. Mother Sakhubai said, "Not only in these cakes, but if we think of the Lord while performing every action, it will reflect and resound in the work we do!" (My Dear Students, Vol 3, Ch 13, Mar 16, 1998)

Yesterday's thought
 
Ravana was a great scholar. He mastered 64 distinct fields of knowledge, including the language of animals, birds and insects. He possessed all knowledge, wealth and prosperity that equaled heaven. He used his penance as a means to acquire mastery over the physical world, reposing his faith on the phenomenal world and not on the Creator. He chose not to enquire about the Creator of the phenomenal world. The Universe is the Creator's property. Rama was the Creator Himself and Sita was Rama's Power (Shakti). Ravana, giving in to lust, desire and greed, developed hatred and enmity towards Rama and abducted Mother Sita. What was the result? Not only he, but his entire kingdom was destroyed. Despite such high knowledge and prowess, he failed to recognize the Divine within and ruined himself due to a moral lapse. Thus Ramayana clearly teaches the lesson that spiritual wisdom alone saves, and is essential. (My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 17, Sep 17, 1992)
