THOUGHT FOR THE DAY AS WRITTEN AT PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAY
Krishna told Arjuna, "You are My devotee and My friend." Neither Arjuna declared himself as a devotee nor Krishna remained content with just declaring Arjuna to be His devotee. Why did Krishna say: "You are My friend?" This declaration has a profound spiritual significance. This will be clear only when we practice the spiritual life. If merely the Lord were to call Arjuna, "My friend" his ego could get inflated and he could take undue liberties with Krishna. If He were to say, "My dear, you are My devotee," he could become extremely submissive and maybe even develop fear towards the Lord. Fear should not be instilled; nor should he be encouraged to take excessive liberties. Hence the terms devotee and friend, were used by Krishna. "You are My friend. You may be free with Me up to a point. You are My devotee. So observe certain restraints. Exercise control over yourself in your devotion." (Divine Discourse at Trayee Brindavan, July 1988)
