Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam September 3rd, 2008 Ganesh Chaturthi The mouse is the vehicle of Lord Vinayaka. What is the inner significance of the mouse? The mouse is attracted by smell and is considered as the embodiment of the sense of smell. The mouse is a symbol of attachment to 'Vasana', which means both smell and worldly tendencies. It is well known that if you want to catch a mouse, you place a strong-smelling bait inside the mouse-trap. The mouse also symbolises the darkness of night. The mouse can see well in the dark and moves about freely in the night. As Vinayaka's vehicle, the mouse signifies an object that leads man from darkness to light. Thus, the Vinayaka-principle signifies that which removes bad thoughts, bad habits and inculcates good thoughts and good conduct in people. -SAI BABA Sai news Thought for the day archive Wallpapers Pictures Submit your: / Prayer request / Sai experience / Sainews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
