Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Dec. 14th, 2005

[Guest guest]

Through spiritual practices, discard the attachment to the sense of

individuality and physical pleasures. Welcome the aspiration to expand

the heart into the Universal. Do not cloud your mind with base

desires, transitory hungers and thirsts that need but morsels or

mouthfuls to be satiated. Yearn for the enthronement of your Soul as

the unquestioned Monarch of the Universe. When you merge in the

Universal, celebrate your triumph over the inner foes that hampered

your march to victory. Acquire Me as your charioteer and I shall lead

you to that consummation. Earn that unfailing grace by your sincerity,

simplicity and sadhana (spiritual practice).
