Today's Thought for the Day
Today's Thought for the Day
What is the attitude with which we must lead our daily life?
Bhagawan
lovingly gives us two tips with memorable
practical illustrations today.

Life
is a newspaper; read casually a few columns and headlines that catch
your fancy and throw it aside. Do not consider it any more important
than that. Remember, today’s newspaper, is tomorrow’s 'waste paper'! So
too, life is worth only a casual perusal! One birth is enough; let the
death coming to you in this life be the last. You are all caskets of
divine Love; share it and spread it. Express that Love in acts of
service, words of sympathy, and thoughts of compassion. Just as when you
wake up from sleep you know that the dream you had was a matter of
minutes, even though the chain of events dreamt spanned many years, this
life too will appear a transient affair when you awaken into jnana
(supreme wisdom) after this brief 'dream of life’. Be always full of
joy so that when death calls, you can quit with a light laugh, without
whimpering in grief. I bless you to shape your life to attain that
supreme everlasting bliss!
- Divine Discourse, Jul 7, 1968
