Thought for the Day - 14th December 2011 (Wednesday)


Always have the meaning and purpose of life in view. Experience that purpose and meaning. You and the Absolute Eternal Divine are One. You are not the individual, the temporary and the particular. Always act in conformity with this. Persist in your meditation until the awareness that you are performing meditation or a spiritual practice disappears. Forget the ego, let it melt and merge with all its layers of consciousness. There are some, who while meditating, strike at the mosquitoes that pester them! No, you must immerse yourself in meditation until you transcend all the physical and mental urges and impulses. Valmeeki, the author of Ramayana, was covered by the anthill that grew over him. People discovered his existence by the chants of the name “Rama” that emanated from the mound. Ignore the body (Deha) so that you may discover its Indweller (Dehi). Do not get engrossed in outer finery; instead delve deep and discover the inner splendour.

Selalulah memiliki arti dan tujuan hidup. Alami/ rasakanlah tujuan dan makna kehidupan tersebut. Engkau dan Divine (Tuhan) adalah tunggal. Engkau bukanlah diri individu semata yang bersifat sementara. Selalulah bertindak sesuai dengan ini. Lakukanlah meditasi-mu sampai engkau mencapai suatu tingkat kesadaran tertentu. Lupakanlah ego, biarkan mencair dan menyatu dengan semua lapisan-lapisan kesadaran. Ada beberapa orang, yang saat bermeditasi, memukul nyamuk-nyamuk yang mengganggu mereka! Jangan bertindak seperti itu, engkau harus membenamkan diri dalam meditasi sampai engkau melampaui semua dorongan fisik dan mental. Valmeeki, penulis Ramayana, ditutupi oleh sarang semut yang tumbuh di atasnya. Orang-orang menemukan keberadaannya oleh nyanyian nama "Rama" yang terpancar dari gundukan sarang semut tersebut. Abaikan badan fisik (Deha) sehingga engkau menemukan Indweller (Dehi). Jangan terpikat dengan asesoris duniawi; melainkan cari dan temukanlah keindahan batin.
