Thought for the day - As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 6/7/2003

 

Man does not live by food alone. In fact he lives by the power of

the Atma. So you must use your strength of body and mind, wealth and

education with intelligence, in order to realize the Power of the

Soul. Without discrimination, what is the use of physical strength?

Everyday, when you take food, you are offering eatables to the Fire

that God has put in you to digest food. You have to eat in a

prayerful mood, in profound gratitude. The Gita says that the fire

that cooked the meal is God; the meal is God, the eater is God; the

purpose of eating is to carry on the work entrusted by God, or

pleasing to God; and the fruit of that work is, progress towards

God.
