Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - July 11, 2005

[Guest guest]

Sacrifice means giving up kama (desires), krodha (anger) and lobha

(greed). Man generally identifies himself with the Anatma (non-Self)

without realizing his true nature. The reflection of the sky in a pot

of water disappears the moment you pour out the water. Likewise, when

you recognise the transient nature of all that is non-Self and empty

yourself of desires, you get closer to the Atma. Unless you sacrifice

desire, anger and greed, you cannot attain divinity.
