Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Thought for the Day As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 4th December 2005 The joy and pleasure earned by activity are only temporary. Nevertheless, one should not desist from karma (action). How, then, is one to act? One should practice detachment and desirelessness towards the results of one's actions. That is to say, one should treat all actions as yagnas (sacrifices) performed for the glory of God and not for selfish ends; for earning lasting merit and not for temporary benefits. Action done in this spirit will engender neither greed nor grief. Indeed, it will endow one with a sense of fulfillment at having discharged one's duty. - BABA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
