Thought for the Day

It is said, “Tell me your company, I shall tell you what you are”. Hence, first and fore­most, move in good company. Then you will become a good individual. You need not acquire goodness from somewhere. It is inherent in your nature. You must cultivate goodness within yourself, just as a tender sapling is nourished and nurtured to become a big tree. Having been born as human beings, it is a great sin to behave like animals. Whenever animal qualities raise their ugly heads, you must immediately remind yourself, “I am not an animal; I must act as a human being.” Unfortunately, today, wherever you see, animal qualities are rampant. Wherever you go and whomever you come across, there is only one desire – money, money and more money. Remember, Money comes and goes, but moral­ity comes and grows! Hence, cultivate and grow in moral values!
