Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 28/07/07There are many valuable lessons to be learnt from Prakrithi (Nature). Trees distribute their fruits and grant their shade to everyone, even to those who lay their axe on them with intention to destroy them! Mountains suffer heat, rain and storm without demur, and are plunged in meditation for ages. Birds do not hoard for years together, the wherewithal for food or shelter; they do not use more than is absolutely necessary for their survival. Nature is your school, your laboratory, the gateway to liberation and the reflection of God's manifold majesty. Seek to know the lessons it is ready to teach; all things in Nature are Brahman (God) just as you are. So, every act is Divine; all work is worship; build the mansion of your life on the strong foundation of the faith that all creation is Divine.THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 27/07/07Using spiritual practices, discard the attachment to individuality and sense pleasures. Welcome the aspiration to expand the heart into the Universal. Do not cloud your minds with base desires, transitory hungers and thirsts that need but morsels or mouthfuls to be satiated. Yearn for the enthronement of your Soul as the unquestioned Monarch of the Universe. When you merge in the Universal, celebrate your triumph over the inner foes that hampered your march to victory. Acquire Me as your charioteer and I shall lead you to that consummation. Earn that unfailing grace by your sincerity, simplicity and Sadhana (spiritual practice).THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 26/07/07There are four kinds of worship. The first kind of worship is undertaken whenever one is in distress, but God is forgotten after relief is obtained. The second kind of worship is carried on by the worshiper seeking the good things of life from the deity he worships, without depending on others. The third type of worshipper offers worship for the sake of others, praying for the welfare of all and holding on to the belief that his welfare is bound up with the welfare of all. The fourth kind, which is the highest form of worship, is worship done in a spirit of complete surrender to the Divine and dedicating all actions to the service of the Divine.THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 25/07/07You must show your gratitude with humility and sincerity to whoever has done you any good. Education that does not promote gratitude is worthless. It is the parents who give you education. The guru is the educator. The Divine has given you the capacity to get educated. Hence, the mother, father and the guru are to be revered as God, as enjoined in the Vedas. You must show your gratitude to your parents, offer due respect to the teacher, and base your life on faith in God. - Satya Sai Baba As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAY http://groups.msn.com/ Mail is the world's favourite email.
