Bhagawan's Thought for the day - 3rd Feb 2011



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A person bound by objective desires will try in various ways to fulfill them. He will be a slave to his senses and their pursuits. But if one withdraws the senses from the world and gains control over their master, the mind, and engages that mind in thapas (penance), then one can establish Swaarajya or Self-mastery - independence over oneself. Bondage means to allow the senses to attach themselves to objects. When the mind that flows through the senses towards the outer world is turned inwards and is made to contemplate on theAtma, it attains Liberation or Moksha.
- Bhagavatha Vahini, Chap 31.
