Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 found in sensory objects or experiences. Whatever pleasure is derived from these is transient and momentary. Real and enduring bliss is to be derived from within oneself. The senses should be regarded as instruments for rendering service to others. The foolish idea that happiness lies only in indulging in sensual pleasures should be given up. Only animals are content to derive satisfaction from the senses alone. Hence, every man should firmly declare, "I am a man and not an animal." Only when he has this firm conviction will man shed his animal nature and assert his humanness. Therefore, it is only when the senses are brought under control that the nature of Divinity can be comprehended.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today9th January 2006 Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.
