Thought for the Day

 

 

The Lord's grace is conferred on each devotee according to the level of his spiritual consciousness. The ocean is vast and boundless. But, the amount of water you can carry from it is determined by the size of the vessel you carry to its shore. If the vessel is small, you cannot fill it beyond its capacity. Likewise, if your heart is constricted, divine grace will be equally limited. Broaden your heart by getting rid of narrow differences and thus recognise the truth that the Divine dwells in everybody.

 

(translated into German Marie-Stephanie Freiin von Elverfeldt)

 

 

Die GNADE des HERRN wird jedem Gottergebenen gemäß der Höhe seines spirituellen Bewußtseins verliehen. Der Ozean ist riesig und grenzenlos. Aber die Menge an Wasser, die Du ihm entnehmen kannst, wird bestimmt von der Größe des Gefäßes, das Du an seinen Strand trägst. Wenn das Gefäß klein ist, kannst Du es nicht über sein Fassungsvermögen hinaus füllen. Auf die gleiche Weise wird die GÖTTLICHE GNADE, wenn Dein Herz verengt ist, genauso begrenzt sein. Vergrößere Dein Herz, indem Du engstirnige Meinungsverschiedenheiten loswirst und so die Wahrheit erkennst, dass das GÖTTLICHE in jedem wohnt.

 

(translated into Indonesian by Udayo Untarya Wijaya)

 

 

Rahmat Ilahi dikaruniakan kepada setiap bhakta sesuai dengan level kesadaran spiritualnya masing-masing. Samudera nan luas dan tak terbatas. Namun walaupun begitu, jumlah air yang bisa engkau ambil darinya ditentukan oleh seberapa besar ukuran ember yang engkau bawa serta. Jikalau ember yang kau bawa ukurannya kecil, maka tentu engkau tak akan bisa mengisi air melebihi ukurannya. Demikian pula, bila hatimu sempit, maka rahmat Ilahi yang kau terima juga terbatas. Oleh sebab itu, lapangkanlah hatimu dengan cara menyingkirkan pandangan-pandangan sempit dan kenalilah kebenaran bahwa Keilahian bersemayam di dalam diri setiap orang.

 

 

(translated into Spanish by Equipo Namo)

 

 

La gracia del Señor es conferida a cada devoto de acuerdo con el nivel de su conciencia espiritual. El océano es vasto e ilimitado. Pero la cantidad de agua que puedes acarrear está determinada por el tamaño de la vasija que lleves a su orilla. Si la vasija es pequeña, no puedes llenarla más allá de su capacidad. Asimismo, si tu corazón está oprimido, la gracia divina será igualmente limitada. Ensancha tu corazón liberándolo de las diferencias estrechas y, reconoce así la verdad de que lo Divino habita en todos.

 

 

(translated into translated into Italian by Mabatini)

 

 

La Grazia Divina è concessa ad ogni devoto proporzionalmente alla sua consapevolezza spirituale. L'oceano è immenso e sconfinato, ma la quantità di acqua che potete prendere da esso è legata alla misura del vaso che vi siete portati sulla spiaggia. Se il vaso è piccolo non potrete riempirlo al di la della sua capacità. Allo stesso modo, se il vostro cuore è contratto, anche la Grazia Divina sarà limitata. Allargate il vostro cuore liberandovi delle meschine differenze, riconoscendo nel contempo che il Divino abita in ogni essere.
