Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - june 21, 2005

[Guest guest]

The greatest short-coming of man today is the absence of Atma Vichaara

(the inquiry into the Self). That is the root cause of all this

Ashanti (restlessness). This Atma Vichaara is described in the

Upanishads through an analogy. Just as a river's flow is regulated by

bunds and directed to the sea, so too the Upanishads regulate and

restrain the senses, the mind and the intellect, and help one to merge

one's individuality in the Absolute. Study the Upanishads with a view

to put this advice into practice.
