Today's Thought for the Day
02 May 2019
What should we do to win over the Lord as our heart’s Charioteer for this life? Bhagawan lovingly instructs us today.
The
love that you have cultivated for men, women and objects must be
sublimated into pure, divine worship. Then it gets transmuted as Bhakthi
(Love of God). Convince yourself that the Lord is in you, as the
charioteer, holding the reins of the five horses (the senses) and giving
you constant counsel, as He did when Arjuna prayed to Him, to lead and
guide. Then, it becomes easy for you to convince yourself that the
self-same charioteer is leading and guiding all other men and even all
other beings. When you are established in this faith firmly, you become
free of hate and malice, greed and envy, anger and attachment. Pray to
the Lord to strengthen this conviction and this faith; He will open your
eyes to the Truth and reveal to you that He is the Sanathana Sarathi
(Eternal Charioteer) in all. That revelation will confer on you
incomparable Ananda, and grant you kinship with Creation's manifoldness.
- Divine Discourse, Jul 31, 1967.
