Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 three things are essential: one, mastery over the senses; two, control over the mind; three, maintaining perfect bodily health. It is only when all these three requisites are present, that man can achieve his goals. If today man fails to achieve even petty objects, it is because he is deficient in all these. To acquire these three, man has to practise Dharma (righteousness), as laid down by the sages. The Vedas declare - "Yatho abhyudaya nisshreyas siddhih saa Dharmah" (that which is conducive to one's well-being here and the hereafter is Dharma). This calls for unity in thought, word and deed. This is true righteousness. Where there is no accord between what one thinks, says and does, one's life is meaningless. It is by the harmony of thought, speech and action, that the true worth of man is manifested.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today24th March 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
