Today's Thought for the Day
"...by understanding Manavatvam (the true nature of humanness), you can understand Daivatvam (Divinity)!..."

Where do we find God? How can we experience Him even today? Bhagawan lovingly speaks to us today.
Truth
is God. The Upanishads declare: God is all sweetness (Raso vai Sah).
This means that God is present in subtle form everywhere, like sugar in
sugarcane and butter in milk. Although it is difficult to have a direct
perception of God, His presence can be experienced in many ways. The
sweetness in sugar, the sourness in lime fruit, the bitterness of the
margosa leaf - all of these testify to the presence of the Divine. When
you see a mountain or waterfall or a forest you feel happy. All these
proclaim the presence of the Divine. Light shines, the stars twinkle,
the sun blazes, and the planets revolve in their orbits. All these
phenomena are manifestations of the Divine. By understanding the nature
of a flame, you can understand the nature of fire. By examining a drop
of water you know the nature of the Ganges. Likewise by understanding Manavatvam (the true nature of humanness), you can understand Daivatvam (Divinity)!
