Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam, June 25, 2005

[Guest guest]

It is the mind which makes or mars a man. If it is immersed in things

of the world, it leads to bondage; if it treats the world as but

temporary, then by that Vairaagya (detachment) it becomes free and

light. Train the mind not to get attached to transient things of the

world. Do not hold before it the tinsels of worldly fame and riches;

lead it towards the lasting joys derived from the divine spring inside

you. The mind itself will then become the Guru, for it will lead you

to the goal, having tasted the sweetness of Shravana, Manana and

Nidhidhyaasana (listening, recapitulating and internalizing).
