Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - June 20, 2005

[Guest guest]

Wipe out the root causes of anxiety, fear and ignorance. Then only can

the true personality of man shine forth. Anxiety is removed by faith

in the Lord; the faith that tells you that whatever happens is for the

best and that the Lord's Will be done. Quiet acceptance is the best

armour against anxiety. Sorrow springs from egoism, the feeling that

one does not deserve to be treated so badly. When egoism goes, sorrow

disappears. Ignorance is just the mistaken identity of the body as the

Self.
