Today's Thought for the Day
25 Jul 2019
What is the best way to spend every second of this precious human life? Bhagawan explains and inspires us today.
Every second is a new moment in your life. Utilise it to purify your heart and fill it with love. You will then realise that God is yours and you are filled with divine love. True devotion is the only method to realise the Divine. Devotion means love of God without any desire for reward. Such devotion can be developed only through good conduct. There can be no devotion without righteousness. Purity of mind is an essential for enjoying Divine Bliss just as purity of body is essential for bodily health. Higher than all the knowledge that can be acquired in the world is the Atma jnana (knowledge of the Self). There is nothing equal to the bliss that comes from Self-realisation. It is attained only when the ego-sense is destroyed and there is prayerful submission to the Divine. Prayers, again, are used for seeking fulfilment of material desires. Out of the millions who offer prayers, very few seek God Himself with pure hearts.
