Thought for the day - As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 9/6/2003

[Guest guest]

Worldly goods do not confer happiness. It is the mind that conveys

the feeling. For example many drink coffee and some drink tea, with

or without sugar and milk. If coffee could make man happy, then

everyone would drink coffee. Those who suffer have My Grace. Only

through suffering will they persuaded to turn inward and make the

inquiry, without which they can never escape misery. People suffer

because they have all kinds of unreasonable desires and they pine to

fulfill them and they fail. They attach too much value to the

objective world. It is only when attachment increases that you

suffer pain and grief.
