Thought for the Day

A piece of mysorepak (an Indian sweet made of gram flour) has sweetness, weight, and shape; the three cannot be separated, one from the other. Each little part of the sweet has sweetness, weight, and shape. We don't find shape in one part, weight in another and sweetness in a third. And when it is placed on the tongue, taste is recognised, weight is lessened, and shape is modified - all at the same time. So too, the individual soul (jiva), the Atma and the Supreme Lord (Parameshwara) are not separate; they are one and the same. Similarly every individual deed, all activities in life must be full of the spirit of selfless service (seva), divine love (prema), and spiritual wisdom (jnana). This is verily the yoga of the Supreme (Purushothama-yoga). It must be practiced in action, not merely spoken in words. Spiritual discipline must be constantly done with an ever expanding heart full of devotion and spiritual wisdom.
