You may see many flies hovering over the garbage being carried in a lorry. When the lorry stops by the side of a sweetmeat shop, the flies will hover over the Laddus also. You are no better than a fly if your mind keeps vacillating between good and bad, unity and multiplicity. Focus your mind only on good things. That is the royal road which will lead you to the experience of truth. On the other hand, if you allow your mind to follow the crooked path, you will ruin yourself.-Divine Discourse, 13th May 2006.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY
As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today3rd June 2006
Love is inherent in man, but like a seed that has to be nourished by water, love in man has to be fostered by dedicated service. Love is a sacred quality. Love is like nectar. A man who has tasted the sweetness of Divine Love will not desire anything else in the world. Life must be a constant manifestation of love. Nowadays, love is expressed in a constricted, selfish manner. It needs to be expressed in the form of service to society. Thereby love becomes a reciprocal, ever-widening experience.
- BABA
