Thought for the Day - 3rd December 2010 (Friday)



Among students today, we do not find the spirit of focus, singleness of purpose and fraternal co-operation. Sadbhava (good feelings) and Sathsanga (good company) have become rare; mutual love and yearning for good company have weakened. “As the ruler (Raja), so the ruled (Praja),” says the proverb. “As the teacher, so the pupil” seems to be equally true. Realizing this, teachers, therefore, have to be interested in high thinking and a life steeped in renunciation.

Di antara para siswa saat ini, kita tidak menemukan semangat, satu tujuan dan rasa persaudaraan. Sadbhava (perasaan yang baik) dan Sathsanga (pergaulan yang baik) sudah sangat jarang ditemukan, serta telah menurunnya rasa saling mengasihi dan menginginkan pergaulan yang baik. Pepatah mengatakan "sebagaimana penguasanya (Raja), demikianlah aturannya (Praja)." "Sebagaimana gurunya demikianlah muridnya" tampaknya sama-sama benar. Oleh karenanya, guru harus berpikir mulia dan menjalani kehidupan spiritual.
