Thought for the day

The best Sadhana (spiritual practice) is to behave as you do when you get a parcel of books by post. To get at the books you unwrap the parcel and throw off the packing material. Now, take the prayer that is the deepest and the most significant - "I want peace". Unwrap it of the "I" (the ego) and of the "want" (desire) and get hold of Shanti (Peace). When you are burdened with egoism and desire, how can you attain Shanti? So, throw away the outer covering and hold on to the precious essence that remains.

Hats Off! To your contributions. Remarkable post which edifies me about a saying: "Self-Ego is the biggest disease afflicted in the society."
