The Thought for the Day

Why are self-control and struggle important in life? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
Everyone
is now seeking comfort and pleasure; that is the be-all and end-all of
all efforts. If you tell a person that he can eat whatever he likes and
as much as he likes, he will be delighted; but if you add that, as a
consequence, he might develop some illness or other, he will treat you
as an enemy. Control or regimen is never popular. But strength is
derived only from control, restraint, and regulation. You become tough
and capable of endurance only if you welcome hardships. Struggle, and
you get the strength to succeed. Seek the basis for the seen, in the
unseen. The tall skyscraper has a deep base reaching into the earth.
This seen world has, as its base, the unseen Divine (Paramatma); your body is but the vehicle through which you can search, investigate, and discover that base!
- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964
