Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Mar 17th, 2006

[Guest guest]

Time moves fast like a whirlwind. Each one's life span is getting

reduced every moment, like a melting block of ice. Hence, it is the

duty of every man to realize the purpose of life and utilise his time

in the performance of his duties, and thereby sanctify his existence.

When people speak about man's bondage, what is it that binds man? Man

can liberate himself only when he knows what it is that binds him. The

greatest cause of bondage is the failure to know oneself. An

individual who is not aware of his true self cannot escape from

sorrow. As long as there is sorrow, bliss cannot be experienced.
