Thought for the Day

A person weeping because he has been bitten by a cobra in the dream can be cured by just being woken up! No doctor is needed. So too, when Arjuna, who was suffering from ignorance (ajnana), was given spiritual knowledge (jnana), he recovered and did his duty. The pain and the snake both disappear when the dreamer ‘wakes up’. To open a door, you must turn the key to the right! Similarly you must turn inward to God and righteousness, then the lock of your heart will open and the chain of bondage will fall away. Turn the key to the left, and you will become bound as the door will get locked! For this spiritual awakening, the prime need is faith in God and faith in oneself! You can move mountains if only you conquer your mind! Curb your senses and use your instruments in useful channels; that will result in joy for you and others
