Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Jan 22nd, 2006

The most important cause for bondage to the world is giving too much

freedom to the mind. For example, when an animal is tethered to a post,

it will not be able to roam over various fields, destroy the crops and

cause loss and harm to others, and thereafter get beaten for the

mischief done by it. Hence, the mind must be bound by certain

regulations and limits. As long as man lives a disciplined life, bound

by certain rules and regulations, he will be able to earn a good

reputation and lead a happy and fruitful life. Once he crosses these

limits he will go astray.
