Thought for the Day
Today people are not making proper use of their mind (mati), effort (gati), position (stiti) and wealth (sampathi),
and losing the sacred energy that God has gifted. Not merely this, they
are subjected to misery and grief because of evil traits like desire,
anger and greed (kama, krodha and lobha). People
absolutely have no control over their desires. When one desire is
fulfilled, they crave for another. Anger is another evil trait which
ruins. Hatred is more dangerous than anger. These give rise to many evil
qualities which obstruct you from experiencing Divinity. You will also
be tormented by the reflection, reaction and resound of your own evil
qualities. Desire, anger and hatred are not human qualities; they are
bestial tendencies. You will become a beast if you allow these wicked
qualities to overpower you. Hence, constantly remind yourself that you
are a human being and not a beast, and subdue these tendencies and enjoy
a happy life.
