Thought for the Day As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today

10th December 2005

Man is burdened with the delusion that the temporary objective world is eternal.

This delusion has arisen out of long identification with this illusory world.

So, man has to be re-educated into the right understanding. The absolute

reality that persists unchanged is this ' I '. All else is unreal parading as

real. The ' I ' in you is Paramatma (God) Himself. The waves play with the wind

for a moment over the deep waters of the sea. It gives you the impression that

it is separate from the ocean below, but it is just an appearance - a creation

of the ideas of Name and Form. Get rid of this misconception, and the wave

disappears into the sea; its true nature flashes upon you and you realize that

God is present in man as Love.
