Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - July 18, 2005

[Guest guest]

Like the moon that illumines the night, the sun that illumines the

day, and Dharma that illumines the three worlds, a good son brings

glory on his entire lineage. Your foremost duty is to revere your

parents. A good son sets an example by his conduct. A good son is one

who reveres and serves his parents, who honours his preceptor, who is

humble and respectful towards elders and who earns a good name by his

service to society. Without reverence for these three, all your other

achievements in life will be worthless. The mother, the father and the

preceptor represent the Divine Trinity - Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara

respectively. But above all of them is the one God who is in all

beings. Develop love for God and thereby show your reverence for all.
