Thought for the Day

You may sometimes feel you are a sinner, and are essentially wicked. But if someone were to think like you and calls you “Hello sinner!”, you will resent it! Why? Because, your real nature is purity, peace and joy. You are divine. You are a manifestation of God! Your mind, intellect, memory, egoism and the senses (Manas, Buddhi, Chitha, Ahamkara, Indhriyas) are like the bricks, iron rods, cement and wood that go up to make a house for your soul to live in. They are not you; the real you is the Divine Soul (Atma). You will truly appreciate this only by constant meditation, moving in good company, listening to the talks of the realised ones, and by following certain prescribed course of discipline. That is why I lay so much emphasis on discipline.
