Thought for the Day

Keeping God as your guide and saviour, whatever work you do, will yield sure success. God is your only true friend. Your friends may be with you only until you have wealth, but the moment you lose everything, they will desert you. God is the only friend who will always be with you, in you, beside you and will never leave you. Therefore, the only way to prosper is to develop friendship with the Lord. Being a human, make others happy. This is love. Your heart is full of love. On this New Year’s day, resolve that you will start every day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love, and end the day with love. Share it with at least five persons each day. Practice, experience and share Divine Love with all, with no difference in caste, creed, colour, religion or nationality. Countries and the world will prosper and everyone will be happy.

Thought for the Day

People make every effort to accumulate wealth. An equal effort is needed to acquire the wealth of love. Human beings today invest their assets of love in pitiful ventures. Instead they should invest all their love in the divine bank of devotion. This deposit is not only safe but will yield you increasing returns in terms of bliss. Your heart is the bank where your love for God should be deposited. Deposits elsewhere are insecure. Deposits of money may be in danger of being lost. But the deposit in your heart is immune from any kind of theft or loss. Make your deposit safe by insuring it within your heart. This love has been characterised as the form of eternal nectar (amrita-swarupa). Nectar pleases only the palate. But Divine Love confers eternal bliss which is sweeter than nectar. Resolve to acquire this nectarous love.

Thought for the Day

Divine Love is the only panacea for all your troubles and miseries arising from insatiable desires and frustrated ambitions. If you are really filled with devotion, manifest your love for God who is the embodiment of love. If you are genuinely hungering and thirsting for God, partake of Divine love to appease your hunger and quench your thirst. God’s love is like a lighthouse beacon. It shows you the right path. Divert the boat of your life towards the lighthouse of Divine Love. You are then bound to gain the shore of bliss. You do not need to do any special type of penance. Fill your mind with love. While attending to your daily chores, regard all of them as offerings to the Divine. God is omnipresent. See God in everything and every being. Let steadfast love be enshrined in your heart. As Tukaram said, “Dil me Ram, hath me kam” (Rama in your heart and work in your hands).
