Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thought for the DayAs written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 25th October 2005 The mind is subject to unsteadiness because of desires. Desires arise due to the impressions received by the senses from outside. The only way to avoid these external impressions is to turn the senses inwards. To effect this change in the use of the senses, the power of discrimination derived from the intellect should be employed. The intellect should be used to determine what impressions should be kept out and what should be let in. The intellect should determine what kind of company we should keep, what kind of food we should eat, what are desirable practices and what are undesirable. It is by the right use of their intellectual judgement that the ancient sages achieved spiritual eminence. - BABAlatest published divine discourses: 08th Oct. 2005 & 11th Oct.2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
