Thought for the Day - 20th May 2010 (Thursday)


The consciousness (Chittha) must first be withdrawn from the objective world and turned inwards towards the awareness of the Eternal Self, Atma. Seeds can sprout fast only when planted in a well-ploughed land. So too, the seed of Atmic Vidya (Self-Knowledge) can sprout in the field of heart only when it has undergone the necessary Samskaras (refinement process).

Kesadaran (Chittha) pertama-tama harus ditarik dari dunia objektif dan berbalik arah ke dalam kesadaran diri yang abadi, yaitu Atma. Benih hanya dapat tumbuh dengan cepat bila ditanam di tanah yang dibajak dengan baik. Demikian juga, benih Atma Vidya (Pengetahuan Atma) dapat tumbuh di ladang hati hanya bila sudah melalui samskaras (proses kemurnian) yang diperlukan.
