Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - June 12, 2005

[Guest guest]

Man has to give up the pursuit of sensory objects if he seeks to gain

lasting peace and joy. Material wealth brings with it not only joy but

also grief. Accumulation of riches, multiplication of wants - these

lead only to alternation between joy and grief. Attachment is the root

of both joy and grief; detachment is the saviour. Feel that your

family, your house and your possessions are all the Lord's property

and you are only the trustee.
