Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - June 2, 2005

[Guest guest]

It is essential to cleanse the mind through regular sadhana (spiritual

discipline), to tune the individual to the infinite will of God, to

merge in His Glory. Scholarship or skill, however deep and varied,

have no purifying power. They only add the alloys of pride and

competition. Learned men are not necessarily good, nor are men with

spiritual powers necessarily above pride, envy and greed. Sathya

(Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Shanti (Peace) and Prema (Love) are

the true qualities of a person with a pure heart, a heart where God is

enshrined and is manifest
