Today's Thought for the Day
27 May 2021
What is the vision we all must strive to attain?
Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today
.
Buddha
taught that everyone was endowed with the same principle of Divinity.
Truth is one, but wise refer to it by various names (Ekam Sat viprah bahudha vadanti).
This message was conveyed by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita when He
said that all beings were His own reflection, and none was different
from Him. Buddha underwent great hardships to realise this truth. Many
noble souls who were contemporaries of Buddha acknowledged Buddha’s
greatness. They said Buddha experienced the truth they were unable to
realise. As Buddha gave up all desires, he became an epitome of total
renunciation. There was nothing in him except love. He considered love
as his very life-breath. Remember, when you offer your salutations to
someone, understand that you are saluting your own self. That someone is
none other than your own reflection. See others just as you see your
own reflection in the mirror. This is the message conveyed by the
profound Mahavakya - Aham Brahmasmi.
