Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thought for the Day As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 24th November 2005 There is no need to go in quest of God. Infact, it is God who is in search of a genuine and steadfast devotee. Today's Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) is approaching God for the fulfilment of his petty desires. He does not seek to understand the nature of true love or the Divinity that underlies everything. He proves himself to be a self-deluded being with no moral commitment. Just as the sun can be seen only by its own light, the love of the Divine can be acquired only by Divine Grace and not by pursuing some trivial practices. These Sadhanas (spiritual practices) are invariably motivated by selfish objectives. There is an element of selfishness in every act of service which man undertakes; it is tainted by egoism or the acquisitive urge. Only when the Sadhaka's heart is filled with the Divine, will he be able to entertain pure and sacred love. - BABA 80th birthday: evening program- report evening celebrations Photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
