Thought for the day - As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 18/10/03

 

A life without character is as barren as a temple without a lamp, a

coin that is counterfeit, a kite whose string has snapped. For the

ocean, the waves are the ornament. For the sky, the moon is the

ornament. For man's life, virtue is the ornament. Without good

qualities, all other ornaments are worthless. Fire is no genuine

fire if it does not burn, nor can water be called so if it does not

wet. The word 'man' is a misnomer for a person if he does not evince

the qualities of humanity. The crisis of character which is at the

root of all the troubles everywhere, has come about as a result of

the neglect of this aspect of education. Wisdom thrives when man is

afraid of vice and sin and is attached to the Divine.
