| Date: Monday, March 17, 2014 | | THOUGHT FOR THE DAY | God does not exist in any foreign land; do not search for Him anywhere – He lives within your own body. Similarly sin too does not exist in any external place. Both, sin and merit exist in your own actions. Hence perform good actions and speak good words. If your kerchief falls down and someone picks it up for you, you tell him 'Thank you', is it not? So too, you must use your tongue to express your gratitude to God. God has gifted us many wonderful things. For example, when it rains, there is plenty of water flowing through canals, rivers, tanks, etc. All the forms of Nature – Earth, Sound, Water, Air and Fire are Forms of God. You must express your utmost gratitude to them. Never forget the good done to you by others – Be a grateful person.(Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 1, Ch 7, Apr 10, 2000.) -Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | Date: Sunday, March 16, 2014 | | YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT | Gayathri is the Mother of all scriptures (Vedas). She exists, wherever Her name is chanted. She is very powerful. The One who nourishes the individual being is Gayathri. She bestows pure thoughts on anyone who worships Her. She is the embodiment of all Goddesses. Our very breath is Gayathri, our faith in existence is Gayathri. Gayathri has five faces, they are the five life principles. She has nine descriptions, they are 'Om, Bhur, Bhuvah, Swah, Tat, Savitur, Varenyam, Bhargo, Devasya'. Mother Gayathri nourishes and protects every being and She channelizes our senses in the proper direction. 'Dheemahi' means meditation. We pray to her to inspire us with good intelligence. 'Dheeyo Yonah Prachodayat' - We beseech her to bestow on us everything we need. Thus Gayathri is the complete prayer for protection, nourishment and finally, liberation.
