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

[Guest guest]

As soon as you rise from bed in the morning, examine for a few moments

your thoughts, plans, habits and attitudes to others, which are about

to pounce on you and decide the shape of things to come during the

day. Identify in the motley crowd of these thoughts, the vicious, the

wicked, the evil, the harmful, the ones that are born in anger, that

breed on greed, and assert that you are not willing to be led by them.

Throw your inclination on the side of the good, the constructive, to

renounce, and rise up a purer, stronger and happier man than you were

when you went to bed. That is the real sadhana (spiritual exercise).
