Thought for the Day - 2nd January 2011 (Sunday)

Only an ardent devotee can understand and experience the bliss of oneness with God. Sugar tastes bitter to a person suffering from malaria. The defect lies in their tongue, not in the sugar. So is the case with a person immersed in worldly desires. If you are immersed in it, you cannot experience the sweetness of Divinity. Have the firm conviction “God is in me, with me, around me, behind me.” When you think on these lines, you become divine. Never entertain the thought that you are separate from God.

Hanya bhakta yang tekun dapat memahami dan mengalami kebahagiaan kesatuan dengan Tuhan. Gula terasa pahit untuk seseorang yang menderita malaria. Kesalahan terletak pada lidah mereka, bukan pada gula-nya. Begitu juga halnya dengan orang yang tenggelam dalam keinginan duniawi. Jika engkau tenggelam di dalamnya, engkau tidak dapat mengalami manisnya Divinity. Kuatkanlah keyakinan bahwa "Tuhan ada di dalam diriku, dengan-ku, disekitar-ku, di belakang-ku." Ketika engkau memikirkan hal ini, engkau menjadi Ilahi. Jangan mempunyai pikiran bahwa egkau terpisah dari Tuhan.
