Thought for the Day

The Nature around us and with us is the vesture of God. We have evidence of His beauty, goodness, wisdom and power all around us, wherever we turn our eyes. But the art of recognising Him is strange to us and so, we deny Him and live in darkness. We have all around us the music emanating from all the broadcasting stations of the world, but they do not assail your ear at any time. But have a receiver and tune in to the correct wavelength, you will hear the broadcast! If you fail to tune it correctly, you will get nuisance instead of news! So too, the Divine is everywhere - above, around, below, beside, near as well as far. For cognising Him, you require not a machine (yantra) but a mystical formula (mantra). Meditation (Dhyana) is the fixing the exact location of the station in the band, love is the correct tuning in, and realising the reality and the bliss it confers is the happy clear listening!
