Thought for the Day - 11th June 2008 (Wednesday)


Every act done with the consciousness of the body is bound to be egoistic. Selfless Seva (service) can never be accomplished while being immersed in the body-consciousness. However, consciousness of Deva (God) instead of Deha (body) will bring forth the splendour of Prema (love). With that as inspiration and guide, man can achieve much good, without ever knowing or proclaiming that he is selfless in outlook. For him, it is all God's will, His work, His glory.

Setiap bentuk tindakan/perbuatan yang dilakukan dengan kesadaran jasmaniah (body consciousness) pasti akan bersifat egoistic. Selfless Seva (pelayanan tanpa-pamrih) tidak akan bisa tercapai bila engkau masih terjerat di dalam body consciousness. Sebaliknya, consciousness of Deva (kesadaran Ilahiah) akan memunculkan kemuliaan Prema (cinta-kasih). Berbekal inspirasi dan pedoman ini, manusia akan mencapai banyak kebajikan, tanpa harus mengetahui ataupun menyatakan bahwa dirinya sudah bersifat selfless. Baginya, semuanya adalah kehendak Tuhan, kreasi dan kemuliaan-Nya.
