Thought for the Day

When you feed the cow with fermented gruel so that it may yield more milk, the milk emits an unpleasant smell. When one engrosses oneself too much with the trifles of the world, the conduct and character become unpleasant. It is indeed tragic to witness the downfall of the child of immortality, struggling in despair and distress. If only every one examines these: “What are my qualifications? What is my position?” They will realise their downfall. Will a tiger, however hungry, eat popcorn or groundnuts? Aim at the goal which your lineage entitles you; how can a parrot taste the sweetness of the mango if it pecks at the fruit of the cotton-tree? Let your effort align keeping up with the dignity. The goal will near you faster than the pace with which you near the goal. God is as eager to save you as you are eager to be saved; He is full of love and compassion for all who seek.
