Thought for the Day - 15th February 2012 (Wednesday)

In the Geetha Lord Krishna says, “Arjuna! People give up revering and seeking Me, their very own Self. How foolish of them! They are not anxious to reach Me; but pursue lesser attainments that are untrue and transitory. The reason for this strange behaviour is the desire for quick results. People seek only that which is available here and now; that which is in a concrete form and is capable of being grasped by their senses; they are carried away by the attraction of flimsy pleasures. People also do not generally have the needed patience. They attach greater importance to the gross body, (sthula sarira). The achievement of Jnana (wisdom) is the true inner victory; it is won after long and arduous struggle. The few who are spiritually minded yearn for the Divine. Such wise people are indeed blessed. Look upon every act as but the execution of His order and as leading to His grace.”

Dalam Geetha Krishna berkata, "Arjuna! Orang-orang meninggalkan kehormatan dan mencari Aku, Diri mereka sendiri. Betapa bodohnya mereka! Mereka tidak ingin mencapai Aku, tetapi mengejar pencapaian yang lebih rendah yang tidak benar dan bersifat sementara. Alasan untuk perilaku aneh ini adalah keinginan untuk mendapatkan hasil yang cepat. Orang-orang hanya mencari apa yang tersedia di sini dan saat ini, dalam bentuk konkret dan mampu ditangkap oleh indera mereka, mereka terbawa oleh daya tarik kesenangan duniawi. Orang-orang juga umumnya tidak memiliki kesabaran. Mereka lebih mementingkan badan kasar, (sthula sarira). Pencapaian Jnana (kebijaksanaan) adalah kemenangan batin yang sejati, yang dicapai setelah melakukan perjuangan yang panjang dan sulit. Hanya sedikit orang-orang yang merindukan Tuhan. Orang-orang bijak seperti itu benar-benar diberkati. Pahamilah setiap tindakan tetapi laksanakan perintah-Nya dan raihlah berkat-Nya. "
