Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Jan 25th, 2006

[Guest guest]

Pure and selfless love towards all living beings, considering everyone

as embodiments of the Divine, with no expectation of reward, is true

Love. With this attitude, when one regards divinity as present in all

beings, he experiences true love. Whatever be the vicissitudes one may

face, whatever be the personal sorrows and privations one may undergo,

true love will remain unaffected. Today, the moment a difficulty

arises, love turns into hatred. True love is the sweet fruit that grows

out of the fragrant flower of good deeds. Love rules without recourse

to the sword. It binds without laws. Only one who has such true love

can be described as human, for, divine love is the basic quality of a

true human being.
