Today's Thought for the Day
17 Dec 2020
What is true silence? How can we make our life an ideal one, as ordained by the Divine? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today.
One should never speak ill of others. Mounat kalaham nasti
(strife does not arise out of silence). Salute those who offend you.
Don’t return offence with offence. If you act in the same manner as your
opponent, how can you become greater? While saying that the other is
acting wrongly, will you be right if you act in the same manner? Never
act in this manner. Let those who commit offence continue their
offensive behaviour. Never react. Wish for the welfare of everyone. When
all are happy, you are included. We pray for the welfare, wealth, and
health of all. Never wish for the misfortune of any other person. There
is no room for hatred in this world. All are friends. If you persist in
this manner, wishing well for everyone, and praying for their
prosperity, you become an ideal for the whole world.
