Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Thought for the day - As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 05/10/03 During the ten days of the Dasara festival, the Rakshasas (demons) in the form of wicked qualities should be routed. Rakshasas do not mean demonic beings. The bad qualities in men are the demons. Arrogance is a demon. Bad thoughts are demons. Ravana is depicted as the king of Rakshasas. He is said to have ten heads. He was not born with ten heads. Who is this Ravana and what are his ten heads? Kama (lust), Krodha (anger), Moha (delusion), Lobha (Greed), Mada (pride), Maatsarya (Envy), Manas (the mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chitta (Will) and Ahamkara (the Ego) - these ten constitute the ten heads. Ravana is one who has these ten qualities. - BABA http://www.sathyasai.org/ International Sathya Sai Baba Organization http://www.radiosai.org/ Radio Sai Global Harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
