Thought for the Day - 11th November 2014 (Tuesday)

You may encounter any number of losses and difficulties in life. You may undergo a lot of suffering. But, you should never give up truth, faith and love. Loss, suffering and difficulties are like the waves in the ocean of life. They just come and go. But the water of the ocean is permanent. Hence develop the faith of ‘water’, i.e., Divinity. The power of the divine name is unparalleled. Do not take it lightly. God’s name is the real diamond. Keep it safe and secure. Do not ever be bothered by pain and suffering, losses and difficulties. Your thoughts are like the passing clouds. Once you seek refuge in the lotus feet of the Lord, never give it up. Wherever you go, the divine feet will protect you. If you install the divine name firmly in your heart, your life will become sanctified. That is devotion (bhakti). That is your power (sakthi). That is liberation (mukti).

Engkau mungkin mengalami sejumlah kerugian dan kesulitan dalam hidup. Engkau mungkin mengalami banyak penderitaan. Tetapi, engkau tidak seharusnya meninggalkan kebenaran, keyakinan, dan cinta-kasih. Kehilangan, penderitaan, dan kesulitan dapat diibaratkan seperti ombak di lautan kehidupan. Mereka hanya datang dan pergi. Tetapi air laut bersifat permanen. Oleh karena itu kembangkanlah keyakinan 'air', yaitu, Divinity. Kekuatan nama Tuhan tidak tertandingi. Janganlah menganggapnya remeh. Nama Tuhan adalah berlian sejati. Jagalah dengan hati-hati. Jangan pernah terganggu oleh rasa sakit dan penderitaan, kerugian dan kesulitan. Pikiranmu dapat diibaratkan seperti awan yang berlalu. Setelah engkau mencari perlindungan di kaki teratai Tuhan, jangan pernah meninggalkannya. Ke mana pun engkau pergi, kaki Tuhan akan melindungimu. Jika engkau menginstal nama Tuhan dengan mantap dalam hatimu, hidupmu akan disucikan. Itulah pengabdian (bhakti). Itulah kekuatanmu (sakthi). Itulah pembebasan (mukti).
