Today's Thought for the Day
27 Sep 2018
What should we do to earn the Lord’s grace? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today!
The
Lord is so full of Grace that He will willingly guide and guard all who
surrender to Him. When the battle with Ravana was over, one glance from
His merciful eye was enough to revive the monkey hordes and heal their
wounds. There were some rakshasas (demons) who had penetrated
into the camp in the guise of the monkeys; when they were brought before
Rama for summary punishment, Rama smiled and pardoned them, for they
had assumed the monkey form so dear to Him; He sent them away, unharmed
to the enemy's camp. That was the measure of His mercy. To win that
Grace, you must become permeated with dharma so that every act is God-worthy. With the sharp chisel of intellect, shape the mind into a perfect image of the embodiment of dharma
(Rama). Then, the rough-hewn idol of humanity that you now are, will
shine with the splendour of Divinity itself. That is the task to which
you should dedicate yourself today.
