Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - june 19, 2005

[Guest guest]

The greatest obstacles on the path of surrender are Ahamkaara (feeling

of 'I') and Mamakaara (feeling of 'mine'). These feelings have been

inhering to your personality since ages, embedding themselves deeper

and deeper with the experience of every succeeding life. They can be

removed only with the detergents of discrimination and renunciation.

Bhakthi is the water to wash away this dirt of ages, and the soap of

Japa, Dhyaana and Yoga (repetition of God's name, meditation and

communion) will help to remove it quicker and more effectively.
