Thought for the Day

Some materialists (Charvakas) argue that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. They say that the pleasure you have now should not be given up in the hope of something promised, if and when the pleasure you have is given up. But the happiness of renunciation can be enjoyed here and now, and is much more sustaining and inspiring than the happiness derived from grabbing and attachment. In addition, in being the master of your senses rather than being its slave, there is a certain joy. Discover the fountain of joy present within you. It is a never failing, ever full, ever cool fountain, for it arises from God.
