Thought for the Day - 7th October 2014 (Tuesday)


Just as every day you engage in exercise and consume tonics, calculating the intake of calories and vitamins, and paying meticulous attention to the nutritional value of the food, pay attention also to the intake of impressions into the mind - whether they debilitate or strengthen, whether they add to the power of resistance of the mind against the viruses of greed, envy, hatred, pride, malice, etc. Have a meal of good acts of service, divine thoughts, and drink the premarasa (juice of Love), so that they may be washed down, and digested well. Then you can be shining in mental health, happiness and wholesomeness.



Sama seperti setiap hari engkau berolahraga dan mengkonsumsi tonik, menghitung asupan kalori dan vitamin, dan memberi perhatian yang cermat terhadap nilai gizi makanan, perhatikan juga asupan ke dalam pikiran - apakah ia melemahkan atau menguatkan, apakah ia menambah kekuatan perlawanan dari pikiran terhadap virus keserakahan, iri hati, kebencian, kesombongan, kedengkian, dll. Asupan yang masuk dalam dirimu hendaknya melakukan pelayanan yang baik, pikiran-pikiran ilahi, dan minum premarasa (jus cinta-kasih), sehingga ia dapat dibersihkan, dan dicerna dengan baik. Maka engkau dapat bercahaya dalam kesehatan mental, kebahagiaan dan kebajikan.  (Divine Discourse, Oct 6, 1970)
