Today's Thought for the Day
11 Jun 2020
When we think of scriptures, we are often frightened by the ‘rules and regulations’ they impose on us. Is that the correct approach? What do scriptures really tell us? Bhagawan reveals to us today.
You are the dearly loved children of the Lord. You are as pure and as sacred as air. Don’t condemn yourselves as sinners. You are lion cubs, not sheep. You have taken birth as inheritors of eternal bliss. You are wavelets of immortality, not bodies compounded from matter. Material objects are here to serve you at your bidding: not the other way around. Don’t think that scriptures (Vedas) lay down a bundle of frightening rules, regulations and laws. Every rule is given to you by the Lord, as law-giver. All elements in the cosmos, every particle everywhere, are acting every moment as ordered by Him, remember! No worship can be higher and more beneficial than serving such a Lord. One has to offer love to Him, more love than one bears 4to anything else in this world and the next. He must be loved as the One and Only. Remember Him adoringly with such love always!
