Thought For The Day
It is a very difficult task to secure a good
Guru. Sishyas (disciples) can become
exemplary persons only when a real Guru
accepts them. When pure-hearted, unselfish
and non-egoistic students approach a Guru,
the Guru exults in ecstatic delight. Parikshith,
the Emperor, renounced everything and
decided to realise God, and, right at that
moment, Maharshi Suka appeared, to guide
him straight to his goal. Similarly, when the
good Sishyas get good Gurus, they succeed
not only in attaining Bliss but also in conferring
peace, prosperity and joy upon the entire world.

Thought For The Day
It is mentioned that "Success begets success.
" But how is success to be achieved and what
is the success you should aim at? The Bhagavad
Geeta declares: "Shraddhavan Labhathe Jnanam"
(The persevering seeker secures wisdom). This
means that without perseverance and earnestness
no success can be achieved. Man is not able to
make significant progress towards the Divine
because of absence of strenuous striving in the
spiritual sphere. Without spiritual practice,
reading religious books and listening to spiritual
discourses have no value. Study of scriptures and
reciting God's names may be good acts in themselves.
But, if there is no love, which is the basis of all
Sadhana (spiritual discipline), they are of no use.

The story of the Lord's adventures is
all nectar. It has no other component,
no other taste, no other content.
Everyone can drink their fill from any
part of that ocean of nectar, just as sugar
is sweet irrespective of whether it is eaten
during the day or night. For, it is day or
night only for the person who eats, not for
the sugar. Sugar behaves uniformly always.
So too, the love of God and the love for
God are both eternally sweet and pure,
whatever the method of accepting or attaining
them. The same sweetness exists, everywhere,
at all times, in every particle.

Thought For The Day
True devotion consists in offering all your
thoughts and actions to God and yearning
for His grace. Devotion confined to a brief
spell in the Pooja room (shrine) or temple
is not true devotion. During that time,
devotion seems to swell within you and
you feel at peace but, once outside, the
peace is lost and anger takes its place. This
cannot be called devotion. Bhakti (Devotion)
has been described as a state of non-
separation from God. Regardless of time,
space or circumstance, one should feel
closeness to God - that is Bhakti. True
devotion transcends the limitations imposed
by one's daily routines and the obligations of
life.

The timeless soul which is beyond delusion
and darkness has to be cognised by every
person through his/her own efforts. You have
taken birth as inheritors of this estate of Eternal
Bliss. You are the dearly loved children of the
Lord. You are as pure and as sacred as air. Do
not condemn yourselves as sinners. You are lion
cubs, not sheep. You are wavelets of Immortality,
not bodies compounded from matter. Material
objects are there to serve you and do your bidding.
You should not serve them and do their bidding.

Sacred activities like rituals and sacrifices
that are laid down in the Vedas (scriptures)
cannot confer Moksha (liberation). They
only help to cleanse one's consciousness.
It is said that they raise people to heaven.
But in the ultimate analysis, even heaven is
bondage; it does not promise eternal freedom.
The freedom that makes one aware of the truth,
of one's own truth, can be gained only through
Shravana (listening to the Guru), Manana
(ruminating over what has been listened to)
and Nididhyasana (meditating on its validity
and significance). Only those who have detached
their minds from desire can benefit from Guru's
guidance; others cannot.

Do not think that the Vedas (scriptures)
lay down a bundle of frightening rules
and regulations and laws. Every one of
them has been laid down by the Lord, as
the lawgiver. All elements in the Cosmos,
every particle everywhere, are acting every
moment as ordained by Him. This is what the
Vedas inform us. No worship can be higher
and more beneficial than serving the Lord.
One has to offer Love to Him, more Love
than one bears to anything else in this world
and the next. He must be loved as the One
and Only. He has to be remembered adoringly
with such Love. That is the fruit that real
education must result in.

Control of the body and senses can be achieved only
by spiritual practices and not by any other means.
You must avoid wasting precious time in useless
pursuits. You must be ever vigilant. You must engage
the senses of perception and action by performing
congenial and noble tasks to keep yourself busy. There
should be no room for sloth to creep in. Also, every
act must promote the good of others. Thus, while
performing your daily duties (Swa-dharma) in this
manner, you can sublimate the body and senses,
and uplift yourself.
