The

rain has been coming down in Puttaparthi for the last week or so. It's not

heavy but it was almost coming constantly for the last few days. So the river

Chitravathi is filled with water. As you can see in one of the photos the water

is flowing over the bridge that connects nearby villages to Puttaparthi.

 

Today the weather seems to have improved the sun is peeking through the clouds.

 

Chitravathi river is filled with water Before the rains started the weather

seemed very hot. It was like summer. But now its nice little cold and since the

rain has stopped its really pleasant.

 

Thought

for the Day

 

 

 

 

 

The

greatest obstacle on the path of surrender is egoism. It is something that has

been inhering to your personality since ages, sending its tentacles deeper and

deeper, with the experience of every succeeding life. It can be removed by the

twin detergents of discrimination and renunciation. Bhakti (devotion) is the

water to wash away the dirt of ages. And the soap of Japa (chanting the Lord's

Name), Dhyana (meditation) will help to remove it quicker and more

effectively.

Rintangan

terbesar dalam upaya surrender (pasrah-diri) adalah egoisme. Ia (egoisme) telah

bercokol di dalam kepribadianmu sejak berkalpa-kalpa[1] lamanya. Akar-akarnya

telah menancap sedemikian dalam dan pengalaman yang dialami di dalam setiap

rentang kehidupan akan semakin memperdalam cengkeramannya. Egoisme hanya bisa

disingkirkan dengan menggunakan dua deterjen, yaitu: diskriminasi (kemampuan

membedakan antara yang baik dan salah) dan renunciation (praktek ketidak-meleketan).

Bhakti (devotion) adalah air untuk membersihkan kotoran yang melekat, dan sabun

Japa (pengkidungan nama-nama Tuhan) serta Dhyana (meditasi) merupakan alat

bantu untuk mempercepat proses pembersihan secara lebih efektif.

El

obstáculo más grande en el camino de la entrega es el egoísmo. Es algo que ha

sido inherente a vuestra personalidad desde hace siglos, lanzando sus

tentáculos más y más profundamente, con la experiencia de cada vida

subsiguiente. Se puede quitar con los detergentes gemelos del discernimiento y la renunciación. Bhakti

(la devoción) es el agua para lavar la suciedad de eras. El jabón de Japa

(cantar el Nombre del Señor), y Dhyana (la meditación) ayudarán a eliminarlo

más rápida y eficazmente.

( translated into Italian by Mabatini )

Il

più grande ostacolo sul cammino della resa è l’egoismo. E’ qualcosa

che è inerente alla vostra personalità da generazioni, e che vi avvolge con i

suoi tentacoli in modo sempre più profondo. Attraverso l’esperienza di

vite successive. Può essere rimosso dai gemelli detergenti della

discriminazione e della rinuncia. La Devozione è l’acqua che lava visa lo

sporco degli anni. E il sapone del Japa (Canto del Nome del Signore) . e La Meditazione saranno di

aiuto a rimuoverlo più velocemente e con maggiore certezza.
