Thought for the Day

A man was performing a marriage in a village. Due to the insufficiency of cooking vessels, the person went to a rich man to borrow them for the occasion. The rich man generously loaned them and the vessels were used to cook a feast to serve the guests attending the wedding. After the function, can the dirty vessels be returned to the owner? No! The vessels must be cleaned inside and outside thoroughly and then be returned. This is true also for the vessel present within you, loaned by God - your heart! All of you are pilgrims in the journey of life. Just as you cannot misuse the borrowed vessel or return it unclean, your heart too must be maintained and returned pure and clean. Do not use the God-gifted heart and limbs to undertake unholy actions and get involved in unnecessary relationships, growing more in bondage. Lead a pure life.
