Bhagawan's Thought for the day - 18th March 2011

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

When faults are found in anyone, you will have to conclude that there are deficiencies in his/her behaviour, that is all. Do not conclude that there is no Divine Atma in them. As a result of the company they keep or the inefficiency of the society in which they grew up, faults have grown in them. They are not native to their nature, which is Atmic. You will have to provide them with good company and beneficial surroundings and persuade him/her to enter them. You should on no account condemn them as a born incorrigible, and keep them aloof.

Bhagawan's Thought for the day - March 11, 2011

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Even if a person through perversity or blind conceit has thus far not cultivated good qualities, the person can at least make a try or make efforts to secure them! If this is not done, the excellence of life cannot be tasted and life is a waste; its worth is nil. The mind, by sheer force of negative forces, gets lost in false values and is unable to develop along the right lines. Such a mind, turned away from good, might cause indescribable evil. All progress won by the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) might be destroyed by such a mind in an unguarded moment, like a spark falling on a keg of gun powder because of a moment’s negligence!

Bhagawan's Thought for the day - 22nd Feb 2011

                                        THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

As a spiritual aspirant (Sadhaka), you must first learn the secret of the ‘inward vision’, and take your attention away from the exterior. You have heard so far little about the inner world, but divine life is nothing but this method of ‘inward living’. Just as the baby, after learning to watch and understand, tries to toddle hither and thither at home, so also the spiritual aspirant learns to toddle in the inner world and understand it. A healthy baby in the cradle waves its arms and legs in glee, watching the lamp on the wall and lisps in joy; the Sadhaka also healthy in body, mind and soul, lying in the cradle of life, watches the Inner world and claps his hands ceaselessly in great glee at that inner joy.

Bhagawan's Thought for the day - 7th Feb 2011

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Life is either pleasant or unpleasant depending upon your basic attitude towards it; just as how the same object could give you pleasure on one occasion and not on another. What is welcomed with great fondness at one time becomes distasteful at another time without even the desire to see it. The condition of the mind at those times is the cause of this state. Therefore, it is necessary to train the mind to be always serene.
