The Lord has endowed man with the body and so, every limb and every sense is worthy of reverent attention. Each must be used for His Glory. The ear must exult when it gets a chance to hear wonderful tales of God. The tongue must exult when it can praise Him. Or else, the tongue of man is as ineffective as that of frogs which croak day and night, sitting on a marshy bank. When Duryodhana told Krishna that he was not afraid of God and man, he was indeed pitiable! The animal (pasu) fears; the beast (mriga) terrifies. Man should be neither. He should neither terrify nor get terrorised! He must be neither a coward nor a bully. If a coward, he is an animal; if a bully he is an ogre! It’s because you feel the urge to use the body with which you have been endowed for this higher purpose that you are in Prasanthi Nilayam. The kinship amongst you and of all of you with Me is ageless, eternal! It’s not based on worldly relationships; it’s based on aspirations of the heart! It’s Prasanthi-nilaya-sambandham, bond of the abode of Supreme Peace!
