Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Thought for the DayAs written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 9th October 2005 The Upanishads have declared that immortality can be experienced only through Thyaga (renunciation or sacrifice). This renunciation does not mean giving up hearth and home, kith and kin. It means giving up the transient and impermanent things of the world. This calls for discrimination between what is permanent and what is perishable. This kind of discrimination is absent among people today. Instead, they discriminate between what is convenient and what is unpleasant and choose the former. Discrimination should be exercised objectively to determine what is permanent and what is transient, what is good and what is bad. Only then can man discover the Sat-Chit-Ananda (Being-Awareness-Bliss) that is within him. - BABA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
