Today's Thought for the Day
18 Oct 2018
At times in the spur of the moment, we feel that God’s been unkind or inconsiderate or illogical. Is that correct objectively? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today to take in a dose of little introspection!

What
can you achieve with your paltry intelligence? A man once laughed at
God for giving the majestic banyan tree a tiny seed and conferring on
the ash gourd, a gigantic fruit. “No sense of proportion,” he thought!
He was travelling, and as time passed, he felt tired and happened to
sleep under the shade of a banyan tree. When he woke up, he saw many
seeds that had fallen on his body. If only the banyan tree had seeds in
proportion to its size, a single seed falling from that height would
have killed the critic in no time! He thanked God for His perfect logic
and wisdom and continued the journey, feeling safe and secure. Take
everything as it comes, and cultivate contentment. Do not multiply your
wants and foster greed and despair. You take off your warm clothing when
you start feeling warm yourself. The coat of desire has to be taken off
when the warmth of devotion increases. Strive to secure grace, do not
strive to secure any lesser fruit.
