Thought for the Day

Krishna demonstrated that if you practice the sadhana of the constant presence of God, you are bound to achieve victory. Take the Lord as your charioteer; He will steer you through the heaviest odds. He has no favourites or rivals. Like fire, He spreads warmth to all who are near Him. If you do not feel the warmth, do not blame Him: blame yourself that you are far from Him. Look at Bhishma; he prayed to the very Krishna who had vowed to kill him to grant him a vision of His divine splendour! That is true devotion, real jnana or wisdom! Krishna responded to his prayer and blessed him. Hiranyakashipu said, 'He is nowhere' and so, God was nowhere for him; Prahlada asserted 'He is everywhere,' and Lord appeared from the pillar and proved his mettle! God did not have to run, find the pillar and come out of it! He was there all along, just made Himself visible!
