Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Dear Koteswara Rao Garu, Love and Love alone.... Many thanks for your appreciating words, which are placed reverentially at HIS Lotus Feet. The basic problem with human birth is 'Desire'. It is the root cause for all evils and rebirths. And, having taken this human form, it is difficult to overcome this instinctive trait. But, our yogis and rishies showed us the right path, having walked themselves on that and realised the futility of any mundane desire. One can understand and even appreciate if Desire is within limits, but the human desire has become so dangerous and vicious because of its selfish nature that it has become the potent cause for annihilation of the whole world sooner than later. The only antidote is the five lines which you have highlighted. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character . Watch your character; it becomes your destiny If we could succeed in catching the thought or aware of our thought process, i.e., the first step, the seed for ultimate action, then our destiny is undoubtedly safe and to HIS abode. Let us pray and try to reach or achieve that. Love and Love alone.... P. Gopi Krishna nvkrao6 <nvkrao6 wrote: - Sir, The following few lines are very apt: Watch your thoughts; they become words.
