Today's Thought for the Day
05 Nov 2020
What should we do to take control of our lives and head in the direction of the goal? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
People's
minds are too full of the world; the stomach is demanding too much of
their time and energy. Their desires and wants are multiplying too fast
for their capacity to satisfy them, their dreams are far too real for
them; they lead one into false victories and absurd adventures.
Engrossed in the analysis of the material world, people have lost all
sense of spirit, sweetness and sublimity; under this new dispensation,
truth has become just a word in the dictionary. Compassion is reduced to
a meaningless travesty. Humility, patience, reverence - these are as
invalid as a flameless lamp in the far distance. The only hold that one
has in this dreadful darkness is the name of God. That is the raft which
will take one across this stormy sea, darkened by hate and fear, and
churned by anxiety and terror!
