Thought for the Day

1.It is important that you should not become a victim of the six inner enemies, which are Kama (desire), Krodha(anger), Lobha (greed), Moha (attachment), Mada (pride) and Matsarya (jealousy). Then, you can experience peace and love. Everyone should perform their duties meticulously and adhere to Dharma (the right code of conduct). Even an ant follows its Dharma. Wherever it finds food, it carries it to its place and consumes it. It does not harm anybody, nor does it steal anything from anyone. All the birds and animals follow their naturalDharma and conduct themselves accordingly. The path ofDharma is fundamental for all, right from a cheema (ant) to Brahma (the Creator). The sa me principle of Truth is present in both.

2.Paramatma (Supreme Divinity) has six chief characteristics: Supreme wisdom, complete renunciation, divine beauty, the fullest splendour of power, undiminished fame, and inexhaustible fortune. Its nature isSat (existence), Chit (knowledge) and Ananda (bliss). These qualities are related to everyone through the Atma. So all of you have the right to realize and enjoy these characteristics and this exalted nature. It is your ordained duty. The travails of the world today are due to humanity not performing this prescribed task.

3.God's happiness lies in the happiness of all. God does not need anything special for Himself. If you are truly happy, God will be happy. Whatever you do, let it be for the peace, welfare and happiness of all beings. God will surely bestow happiness upon you by correcting and forgiving your faults. You must live in unity and love. You have learnt that there are Panchapranas (Five Vital Airs) within every living being, i.e., Prana, Apana, Vyana,Udana and Samana. In reality, the Panchapranas are nothing but Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-Violence. Where there is truth, there will be righteousness. Where there is righteousness, there will be peace. Where there is peace, there will be love. Where truth and love coexist, everything else will be added unto that person.

4.The Jagat or Cosmos was created by God out of Himself. Therefore, He is the originator as well as the material of the Cosmos. He is Paripoorna (full and complete). And as a result, the Creation is also full and the Individual Atma is also full. However, the innate and genuine truth and wisdom of an individual may sometimes be hidden by evil thoughts and deeds. Those acts and practices that can disclose the native splendour and glory of theAtma are termed as good deeds and practices.
