Thought for the Day
- Divine Discourse, Jan 11,1966.
The
Lord is so full of Grace that He willingly guides and guards all who
surrender to Him. When the battle with Ravana was over, one glance from
Lord Rama’s merciful eye was enough to revive the monkeys who had fallen
on the ground, and to heal the wounds they earned during the war. Some
demons had penetrated into the monkey camp in disguise; they were
brought before Rama for summary punishment! Lord Rama smiled and
pardoned them, for they assumed the monkey form which was so dear to
Him; He sent them away, unharmed! That was the measure of His mercy. To
win the Lord’s bounteous grace, you must become permeated with
righteousness (dharma) so that every act is God-worthy. With the sharp chisel of intellect (buddhi), shape the mind (manas) into a perfect image of Dharma-murthi,
the idol (or embodiment) of righteousness. Then you will shine with the
splendour of the Divine. That is the task you should dedicate yourself
to today.
