Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam February 26th, 2008 Through activity, man attains purity of consciousness. In fact, man has to welcome activity with this end in view. And why strive for a pure consciousness? If a bucket is filled with polluted and muddy water, can you see its bottom? Similarly, within man's heart, deep down in his consciousness, we have the Atma. But it can be cognized only when the consciousness is clarified. Your imaginations, your inferences, your judgements and prejudices, your passions, emotions and egoistic desires, muddy the consciousness and make it opaque. How, then, can you become aware of the Atman, that is at the very base? Through Seva (selfless service) rendered without any desire to placate one's ego and with only the well-being of others in view, it is possible to cleanse the consciousness and have the Atman revealed. -SAI BABA Sai news Thought for the day archive Wallpapers Pictures Submit your: / Prayer request / Sai experience / Sainews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
