Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 true for every object in the universe. The paddy that is grown and harvested cannot be consumed as it is. The husk has to be removed and then it has to be cooked so that it becomes rice. In the process of transformation to rice, the original paddy has considerably increased in value. The transformation process thus makes an object more useful and valuable. If that is the case with ordinary objects, how much more is it necessary for man, who is more important than all of them, to go through this transformation? Hence, the ancient sages envisaged a system of Samskaras intended not only to develop further the human qualities but also to eliminate all remnants of animal nature in man. It is a process of spiritual development by which the bad tendencies in man are got rid of and good tendencies are inculcated.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today23rd March 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
