Today's Thought for the Day
20 Jun 2019
As we send our children to Balavikas or teach them values at home, what is the real transformation that must happen within the parents? Bhagawan lovingly underscore its importance to us today.
Parents,
teachers and leaders are inflaming the passions of young minds and
encouraging them to indulge in violent thoughts and deeds. The very
people who preach the message of peace, of child education and harp on
love, harmony and mutual cooperation, and elaborate the principles of
social progress and national uplift are undermining these hopes by their
living examples! Children do not say one thing and do the opposite.
They are very straight forward and innocent. Elders must imbibe this
nature now from them, for many have strayed far from that ideal! Our
culture emphasises humility, sincerity and unity as the best cure for
emotional errors. More than the pursuit of luxurious life or competitive
comfort, the acquisition of wealth or power, which are all liable to
quick decline, the ideal of simple living and high thinking laid down by
the sages of India will lead to happy lives and greater social peace.
- Divine Discourse, Mar 31, 1975.
