Today's Thought for the Day
21 Jan 2021
What is the importance we must accord to keep our heart pure, loving and clean? Bhagawan reminds us today with simple examples.
If
we invite some great person, such as a saint or a learned person to our
house, some preparations will have to be made at home, to make it
presentable. We have to clean the house and the surroundings before the
guest comes. A house which is not clean lacks sacredness and great
people would not go to such places. In the same way, if we invited a
minister or governor to our village, we would clean the road and
decorate the path and keep everything fit and proper for receiving the
eminent visitor. If we take so much care and precaution when we invite a
person who has only a temporary position, how much more clean should we
keep our heart when we invite the very Creator and Protector of the
world Himself to enter! Krishna said: "Arjuna, you are taking Me as the
charioteer of your chariot. Take Me as the charioteer of your life. The
seat on which I am seated in this chariot is very clean and well
decorated. Think how clean and how grand your heart should be to make it
a seat for Me if I become the charioteer of your heart.”
