THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The sugarcane should welcome the cutting, the hacking, the crushing, the boiling

and the straining to which it is subjected; since without these ordeals, the

cane would dry up and make no tongue sweet. So too, man must welcome trouble

for that alone brings sweetness to the spirit within. If you wish to enjoy

enduring happiness, you have to fill your mind with pure thoughts and develop

fine feelings in your heart. Through good thoughts and kind actions, the heart

gets pure and holy.
