Thought for the Day

Seek jnanam (spiritual knowledge), which is the seat of sweetness. Get rid of the desire for sense-enjoyment, which like the pleasure you get while scratching itching eczema, only makes the complaint worse. You cannot cure it by yielding to the temptation to scratch. The more you scratch, the more you are tempted to continue, until bleeding intervenes. So desist from that vain pursuit and concentrate on spiritual matters, or at least, move in the world with the ever present consciousness that it is a morass, a net, a trap, into which attachment and desire will precipitate you. Be a true devotee and become so small that you wriggle out of the shackles of the senses or be a true jnani and become so huge, that you escape by breaking the shackles.

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
