Thoughts for the Day - 2nd July 2008 (Wednesday)


Man should be the master of his behaviour; he should not be led away by the impulse of the moment; he must always be conscious of what is good for him. He should carry on his daily tasks such that he does not make others suffer or suffer himself. Be calm, unruffled and collected. The more you develop charity for all beings, contrition at your own faults, fear of sin and love of God, the more firmly established you will be in Shanti (peace).

Manusia haruslah menjadi master (tuan) bagi perilakunya sendiri; janganlah engkau terpancing oleh impuls/dorongan yang muncul sesaat; senantiasalah mawas diri dalam menentukan mana yang baik bagi dirimu. Lakukanlah tugasmu sehari-hari sedemikian rupa sehingga tidak menyebabkan kesusahan bagi orang lain maupun bagi dirimu sendiri. Tetaplah bersikap tenang. Apabila engkau mengembangkan charity (sikap kedermawanan), penyesalan atas kesalahanmu, takut berbuat dosa dan mencintai Tuhan, maka engkau akan semakin mantap di dalam Shanti (kedamaian).
