Thought for the Day - 4th November 2013 (Monday)


A person or an institution is to be judged according to their integrity, whether their acts are according to the principles professed. The mind, the body, and the word - all three must work in unison. When work (Karma) is thus disciplined and regulated, automatically your senses will become sublimated and you will attain everlasting Prasanthi (inner peace). From this will arise Prakanti (the great light), and from that will emerge Param Jyoti (Supreme Illumination). That Illumination will reveal the Paramatma (Divinity) present within you! You must achieve that success by following the path laid out for you – conquer anger and desire, achieve love through the practice of incessant meditation (Japa-Dhyana), which will lead to the blossoming of the lotus of the heart and the emergence of Divinity from within you!

Seseorang atau lembaga akan dinilai sesuai dengan integritas mereka, apakah tindakan mereka sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip yang dianut. Pikiran, badan jasmani, dan perkataan - ketiganya harus bekerja secara serempak. Ketika pekerjaan (Karma) dilaksanakan dengan disiplin dan diatur, otomatis indera-mu akan dimurnikan dan engkau akan mencapai Prasanthi (kedamaian). Dari hal ini akan timbul Prakanti (the great light), dan dari sini akan muncul Param Jyoti (Supreme Illumination). Iluminasi ini akan mengungkapkan Paramatma (Divinity) ada dalam dirimu! Engkau harus mencapai keberhasilan dengan mengikuti jalan yang telah disiapkan untukmu - taklukkanlah kemarahan dan keinginan, raihlah cinta-kasih melalui praktek meditasi (Japa-Dhyana) secara terus-menerus, yang akan mengarah pada berkembangnya teratai hati dan munculnya Divinity dari dalam dirimu! (Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964)
