Thoughts for the Day - 8th August 2008 (Friday)


Man seeks joy in far places and peace in quiet spots; but, the spring of joy is in his heart, the heaven of peace is in him. Even when he walks on the moon, man has to take with him his fears, his anxieties, his prejudices and his pet aversions. Have faith in God, and in the correctness of moral living. Then, you can have peace and joy, whatever may be the fare that fortune offers you.

Manusia mencari kebahagiaan di tempat yang nun jauh dan kedamaian di tempat yang sunyi-sepi; padahal sebenarnya mata-air kebahagiaan ada di dalam hatinya sendiri dan demikian pula halnya dengan surga kedamaian. Walaupun manusia sanggup menjejakkan kaki dan berjalan di permukaan bulan, namun ia tetap akan dirundung oleh ketakutan, kekhawatiran serta kebimbangan lainnya. Milikilah keyakinan terhadap Tuhan serta berpegang-teguh pada nilai-nilai kemoralan. Dengan demikian - di tengah pasang-surut kehidupan - kedamaian dan kebahagiaan tidak akan jauh darimu.
