Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Mar 11th, 2006

[Guest guest]

Man today is like a horseman riding two horses at the same time. He

aspires for the Divine, yet at the same time he yearns for worldly

pleasures too. He forgets that the creation is contained within the

creator. Forgetting this truth, he goes after the phenomenal world,

regarding it as different from the Divine. Instead of following the

easy path of chanting God's name, man involves himself in multifarious

troubles and wastes his precious life. Man is verily God. He is

allowing his inherent divinity to be submerged by worldly desires. He

should utilise the pure and sacred thoughts that arise in him to turn

away from the transient attractions of the world and to set him on the

path towards the Divine.
