Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Feb 26th, 2006

[Guest guest]

The moon is the presiding deity of the mind. The mind is the source of

all entangling desires and emotions. Today is the fourteenth day of the

dark half of the month, when the moon is all but invisible; just a

minute fraction remains visible. The mind is, therefore, almost

powerless this day; if only this night is spent in vigil and in the

presence of the Divine, it can be fully conquered, and man can realize

his true self. One must maintain vigil on this sacred night by means of

Bhajans, or the reading or listening of sacred texts. Make this the

practice for your entire life too.
