Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam – April 11th, 2006.

[Guest guest]

The dog will stop barking at its own reflection in the stream, when it

knows that it is not another dog but itself. All are reflections of

ourselves, and so, whom are we to hate and whom are we to love? The

wise men maintain the attitude - "Give up attachment, give up

entanglements - Thyaga (renunciation) alone grants freedom". Renounce

the idea of your being separate; see all beings in yourself, and

yourself in all beings. That is the highest renunciation, the

renunciation of the sense of ego, which makes you cling to this

temporary body - this bundle of bone and flesh with a name and form.
