Today's Thought for the Day
24 Sep 2020
What is the primary quality we should strive to develop? Bhagawan explains drawing examples from the life of Lord Krishna.
The
cow transforms grass and gruel into sweet strength-giving milk and gives
it away in plenty to its master. Develop that quality, that power to
transform the food you consume into sweet thoughts, words and deeds of
sympathy for all. The child Krishna wept for permission to go along with
the cows to the fields of pasture. Yashodha said, "Dear child! Your
tiny silken soles cannot walk along those thorny, pebble-filled tracks. I
shall get nice little sandals for you. You can go, after the sandals
are ready." But Krishna sweetly replied, "The cows whom we serve are not
shod. Why should we, who are their servants, avoid the thorns and
stones which they cannot avoid?" No wonder the cows and calves of Gokul
were immobilised and wept, when Krishna left for Mathura! When you have
filled your heart with sympathy for the distressed, the Lord will shower
His Grace.
- Divine Discourse, Jan 11, 1968.
