Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Aug. 29, 2005

[Guest guest]

Without courage, firm conviction and strong determination, no purpose

is served by routine Sadhana (spiritual exercises) undertaken

mechanically. On the contrary, a person who never swerves from his

determination even under trying circumstances, is called a Dheera

(hero) and such a person wins the grace of the Lord. We should try to

seek fulfilment in our daily life by anchoring our mundane activities

in spiritual values. One must follow the dictum, "Hands in the society

and head in the forest". That is to say, whatever be the activities

you are preoccupied with in society, you must be steadfast in holding

on to the spiritual ideals. This is the true sadhana, which will

bestow lasting peace on you. Remember that you are the changeless Atma

(spirit). All your sadhana should be directed towards establishing

yourself in this firm conviction and unwavering faith, culminating in

your life's fulfillment.
