Thought for the day



When an individual seeks fulfilment outside himself, he fails; if he seeks it within himself, he is successful in obtaining it. The divine principle within us is always accessible and always responsive. Pain is felt only as long as attachment or aversion to outer forms remains. Ultimate relief from pain can come only by the effacement of the ego, by the elimination of that which reacts to one thing as pain and to another as pleasure, and whose memory and conditioning sustains the recognition of the dualities of joy and grief.

Really! I read twice to understand the deep insights available inside the post.

Great! Sai Babaji's teaching.

I had an opportunity to read a book titled: "The seven habits of highly effective people," where the American author describes same thing differently.

Same ideas but different expressions.
