Today's Thought of the Day
People say Lord Yama, God of death takes everyone’s life away using a rope called Yama pasa.
What is the rope that takes every person’s life? Attachment and
selfishness are the ropes that bring end to each one! God does not
create pleasure and pain from somewhere else! To think that due to
others or external factors we get difficulties or happiness is
incorrect! We ourselves cause our own happiness or grief. If we
recognise this, we need not fear. When we are full of pure love we will
be fearless. Where there is sin, there is fear. So, never give scope to
wrong deeds. Whatever small work you may do, first discriminate whether
it is good or bad. Take time. Do not be in haste. ‘Haste makes waste.
Waste brings worry. So do not be in a hurry’. Whatever happens, be
peaceful. Pray to God and cultivate love for God. That love is the
divine nectar that will remove all sorrow.
