Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Aug. 27, 2005

[Guest guest]

Dhyana does not connote merely the act of sitting erect, motionless

and maintaining silence. It means merging of all thoughts and feelings

in God. Unless the mind dissolves itself completely in God, one cannot

attain the fruit of Dhyana. Lord Krishna, in the Bhagavad Githa,

declares the ideal Dhyana and its fruit to

be "Ananyaaschinthayanthomaam Ye janah paryupaasathe. Theshaam

nithyaabhiyukthanaam Yogakshemam vahaamyaham", meaning, "For those

persons who adore Me without any other thought or feeling, I will

myself carry their burden, remain by their side always guiding and

guarding them".
