Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam, December 12th, 2005

[Guest guest]

The most important goal for man is to put into practice the doctrine

of divine love. The principle of love is the greatest unifying force;

it unites all spiritual practices, all creeds, all the goals of life

and all the scriptures. The foremost path for the spiritual aspirant

is the path of complete surrender to the Lord for earning His love and

grace. The devotee offers everything he has and approaches the Lord in

the same manner in which a bride in this country renounces all that

was hers before her marriage, when joining the household of her

husband. God's love cannot be gained without such renunciation by the

devotee.
