Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - July 15, 2005

[Guest guest]

When you build a house, you build doors as well. These doors are meant

to facilitate easy entry and departure of friends and relatives. Only

those who are authorised to enter are allowed through these doors. The

door is not meant for dogs and donkeys to come into the house.

Similarly through the doors of the senses, we should usher in only

sacred thoughts, feelings and ideas. The heart is the abode of God.

The Lord cannot be enthroned in a heart fouled by evil thoughts, ideas

and feelings. We should not allow either animal or demoniac qualities

to enter into that sacred abode of Divinity.
