Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Thought for the DayAs written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 18th November 2005 Man has achieved immeasurable progress in science and technology. But, in the field of morality, he is still unable to rid himself of narrow cynicism, limited outlook and the demonic hold of selfishness, pride, envy and other evil traits. When we examine the basic cause for this state of affairs, we discover that it is the consequence of egoism that has struck deep roots in the heart of man. It has reduced man to the status of a puppet. It pollutes his thoughts, words and deeds. It directs him to gather and hoard material riches. It does not allow the Atma to shine forth. When the veil of egoism is set aside, the Atmic effulgence, and with it, Ananda (bliss) and Jnana (supreme wisdom) will be revealed. - BABA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
