So everyone in Puttaparthi headed to airport, at around 6:15 pm Swami also arrived at the airport. All the vehicles and devotees in Puttaparthi were headed to airport. The whole road was filled with devotees. The airport runway was filled with devotees, Swami had hard time even getting out of the car at the airport due to huge number of devotees. After an hours stay in airport, Swami returned back to mandir. It took quite a while for Swami to return to mandir due to traffic on the airport road. Thought for the Day Man today fails to recognise the power of the Divine because of his selfishness and self-centredness. Only when he gets rid of the impurities encrusted in his heart, will he be able to experience Divinity. Man and God are like the iron filing and the magnet. God by His very nature attracts man to Himself, for in man there is the Divine. Often we feel that God has forsaken us and we rush to blame Him, failing to realise our own defects. When the iron filing is too thickly covered by rust and dust, can it get attracted to the magnet? (translated into Indonesian by Udayo Untarya Wijaya) Kegagalan manusia dalam menyadari kekuatan Divine adalah disebabkan oleh karena sikapnya yang congkak dan mementingkan diri sendiri. Apabila ia sanggup untuk menyingkirkan noda-noda yang terdapat di dalam hatinya, maka ia akan sanggup untuk experience Divinity. Manusia dan Tuhan adalah ibarat batangan besi dan magnet. Salah-satu sifat Tuhan adalah menarik manusia kepada diri-Nya, sebab di dalam diri setiap umat manusia terdapat percikan Ilahi. Namun kadang kala kita merasa seolah-olah Tuhan telah melupakan kita, sehingga kita cenderung suka menyalahkan-Nya tanpa terlebih dahulu merenungkan kekurangan yang ada pada diri kita sendiri. Apabila batangan besi itu sedang tertutup oleh lapisan debu dan karat yang tebal, bagaimanakah mungkin ia bisa ditarik oleh magnet? (translated into Spanish by Equipo Namo) Hoy día el hombre omite reconocer el poder de lo Divino a causa de su egoísmo y egocentrismo. Únicamente cuando se deshaga de las impurezas incrustadas en su corazón, será capaz de experimentar la Divinidad. El hombre y Dios son como las limaduras de hierro y el imán. Dios por Su misma naturaleza atrae al hombre hacia Él, porque en el hombre está lo Divino. Con frecuencia sentimos que Dios nos ha desamparado y nos precipitamos culpándolo, omitiendo el darnos cuenta de nuestros propios defectos. Cuando las limaduras de hierro están demasiado cubiertas por la herrumbre y el polvo, ¿pueden conseguir ser atraídas por el imán? ( translated into Italian by Mabatini ) L’uomo di oggi sbaglia nel riconoscere il potere del Divino a causa del suo egoismo e del suo sentirsi al centro delle cose. Solo quando si sarà liberato delle impurità che incrostano il suo cuore, sarà in grado di sperimentare la Divinità. L’uomo e Dio sono come il ferro ed il magnete che lo attrae. Dio per la Sua vera natura attrae l’uomo a Sé stesso, perché nell’uomo c’è il Divino. Spesso sentiamo che Dio ci ha abbandonato e ci precipitiamo a biasimarlo errando nel non riconoscere i nostri stessi difetti. Quando la polvere di ferro, ricoperta da uno spesso strato di polvere e sporco, riuscirà ad essere attratta dal magnete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
