Thought for the Day

You must renounce attachment, hatred and ego. It is these qualities of attachment and ego that play havoc with a person and cast them into the mire of delusion. Ego leads to ostentatiousness and ostentatiousness strengthens the ego. A person can never experience divine bliss as long as one is swayed by the ego. Lord Krishna reveals to Arjuna in the Gita, “Ego, attachment and ostentatiousness are Rajasik qualities (passionate temperaments). These three are very dangerous and they bring on disaster! If anyone cultivates these habits, knowingly or unknowingly, they are not betraying others, but are deceiving themselves!” Resolve and achieve victory over your ego. With firm faith, make an intense effort to rid yourself of evil qualities. I bless you to carry out your convictions successfully and accomplish this victory with utmost ease!
