Thought For The Day
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.
