Thought for the Day

When you perform an activity (kriya) as an offering to the Lord, your good, the higher good, and the highest good (swartha, parartha, and paramartha) - all become one. First, I and you become we. Next, we and He become unified. The individual soul (the ‘I’ or jiva) should accomplish identity first with the creation (prakriti or ‘you’) and then with the Supreme Spirit (He or Paramatma). This journey is the significance of chanting the mantra Om Tat Sat. Today, yesterday and tomorrow, Om Tat Sat, is, was, and will be. ‘He’ and ‘I’ and the spiritual practice (sadhana) is also always there. Just as the sun is inseparable and is never apart from its rays, under no circumstances should any aspirant be without their spiritual practice. It is only when spiritual aspirants adhere to their spiritual disciplines in such an incessant manner that they can be said to be one with Om.
