| Date: Friday, February 14, 2014 | | THOUGHT FOR THE DAY | Who is a bad person? Anyone who sees evil in good is bad. Stay away from them. If you join bad company, knowingly or unknowingly, you will lose good qualities. Many reaped poor fate due to bad company. Who is a good person? Anyone who sees good, even in a bad person, is a good person. You must develop friendship with good people. There may be some evil qualities in you. Do not worry or become weak because of this. Develop more and more good qualities. God will always be in you, with you, around you and will take care of you. Whatever task you undertake, discriminate carefully, follow the noble path and always do good acts. Keep your heart sacred and pure. Never fill your heart with bad thoughts and feelings. You must start early, drive slowly and reach safely. When you develop good qualities, your journey will be smooth in future. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 1) | | Date: Thursday, February 13, 2014 | | Yesterday's Thought | If the number of passengers in a bus is within the permissible limits, travel is safe. If the bus is overloaded with people or luggage, its owner has to pay the fine imposed on him by the Road Transport Officer (RTO). Similarly, if you overload yourself with food or desires, the Officer of Virtues, will impose the fine of grief and ill-health on you; You might even be penalized by the Break Inspector, for lacking sense control and speeding up. Hence moderation is very essential for happy living â€" be it in food or desires. An overloaded truck driver will find it difficult to drive it up a steep-hill and at times, the consequences can be disastrous. If you want to progress and maintain good health consistently, it is imperative that you must not overload yourself. You will not be able to attain the elevated stage of bliss, if you eat more than what your body needs.
