Today's Thought for the Day

At times, we may not be in a good position as compared to others. How should we deal with that emotion? Bhagawan lovingly guides us to help us avoid blemishes in our character.
Resolve
to emulate those who do better than yourself and earn equal
appreciation. Strive to acquire knowledge, wisdom and success that you
aspire, righteously. That is the real ambition. Instead, if you wish for
the downfall of others who are successful, that very intent reveals
your brutish nature. It will lead you to perdition for sure. Praising
oneself and condemning others are also as deadly as envy. Attempting to
hide one’s meanness and wickedness, wearing the mask of goodness,
justifying one’s faults and exaggerating one’s attainments — these are
also definitely poisonous traits. Equally poisonous is the habit of
ignoring the good in others and assiduously seeking only their faults.
Never speak words that demean anyone. When we are friendly with someone
and like them, whatever they do is certain to strike us as good. When
the wind changes and the same person is disliked, even the good they do
feels wrongful to us. Both these reactions are not commendable!
