Thoughts for the Day - 15th February 2008 (Friday)




The Vedas and Shastras, since they were won by penance and travail by sages and seers, who were interested in the welfare of humanity and the liberation of man, are the greatest repositories of Hitha (beneficence). They advise that man must regulate his 'outer-look' and develop the 'inner-look'; the inner reality is the foundation on which the outer reality is built. It is like the steering wheel inside the car which directs the outer wheels. Know that the basic reality is God. Become aware of it and stay in that awareness always. Whatever be the stress and the storm, do not waver from that faith.

Kitab suci Veda dan Shastra diperoleh melalui upaya keras tapa-brata oleh para sadhu dan rishi yang peduli atas kesejahteraan serta pembebasan umat manusia (dari lingkaran kelahiran dan kematian). Kitab-kitab suci tersebut bagaikan harta yang sangat tak ternilai harganya. Di dalam kitab suci itu, kita diajarkan untuk mengarahkan pandangan ke dalam diri kita masing-masing; sebab inner reality merupakan fondasi atau landasan daripada outer reality. Ia bagaikan roda kemudi di dalam mobil yang mengarahkan arah perjalanan dari keempat roda di luar. Sadarilah bahwa Tuhan adalah basic reality. Apapun juga kendala dan hambatan yang terjadi, janganlah engkau menjadi goyah dari keyakinanmu itu.
