Today's Thought for the Day
26 Nov 2020
Bhagawan says, avoid bad company. Does that refer to external company alone? Bhagawan lovingly explains today.
Sankalpas
or Inner Resolutions tend to be attracted towards one another, when
they flow in the same direction or are related to similar desires.
Cranes fly together as flock; they do not mix with crows. Crows form
their own groups. Among beasts of the forest, bisons have herds of their
own kind; they have no comradeship with elephants, which keep bisons
away and mingle only with elephants. Deer too form groups by themselves.
Similarly, a musician attracts musicians around him. Teachers seek
teachers for company. Decisions which mind makes, either to commit or
omit, are amazing, for, the Cosmos and all its contents can be described
as their consequence. The mind decides on the fact or facet of the
objective world which it has to notice. The Sankalpa bears
fruit and the fruit conforms to the seed from which it springs. It has
to reveal its impact, sooner or later. So, man has to avoid evil
sankalpas and cultivate good ones!
- Divine Discourse, Jul 10, 1986.
