Thought for the Day
How
to lead a divine life? No special membership entitles you to it. Every
struggle to realise the unity behind all the multiplicity is a step on
the path of divine life. Divine life does not admit of the slightest
dross in character or delusion in intellect. Wipe out the root causes of
anxiety, fear and ignorance. Then only can your true personality shine
forth. Anxiety is removed by faith in the Lord; the faith that tells you
that whatever happens is for the best and that the Lord’s Will be done.
Quiet acceptance is the best armour against anxiety. Sorrow springs
from egoism, the feeling that you do not deserve to be treated so badly,
that you are left helpless. When egoism goes, sorrow disappears.
Ignorance is just a mistake, mistaken identity of the body as the Self!
In fact, you must each one try to become egoless, and then the Lord will
accept you as His flute.
- Divine Discourse, Venkatagiri, April 1957.
