Thoughts for the Day - 28th November 2008 (Friday)

Paramatma (God) cannot be known without faith and steadfastness. Only through Prema (love) comes Shraddha (faith); through Shraddha comes Jnana (wisdom); through Jnana comes Parabhakthi (highest form of devotion); through Parabhakthi, Paramatma is attained.

Paramatma (Tuhan) hanya bisa dikenali melalui perangkat keyakinan dan kemantapan-hati. Melalui Prema (cinta-kasih) diperoleh Shraddha (keyakinan); melalui Shraddha diperoleh Jnana (kebijaksanaan); melalui Jnana diperoleh Parabhakthi (bentuk devotion yang paling mulia); dan melalui Parabhakthi, diperolehlah Paramatma.

Thoughts for the Day - 2nd November 2008 (Sunday)

Paramatma (God) alone is Real. Paramatma is Truth and Love. Meditate on Him as Truth and as Love. Be always in Satsang, the company of His devotees. Through this Satsang, Viveka (discrimination) and Vairagya (detachment) will be implanted and increased. These in turn will strengthen the spirit and endow you with inner peace. Your mind will then merge in Paramatma.

Satu-satunya yang real (sejati) adalah Paramatma (Tuhan). Beliau adalah Kebenaran dan Cinta-Kasih. Bermeditasilah terhadap-Nya dalam wujud Kebenaran dan Cinta-Kasih. Senantiasalah berada di tengah-tengah Satsang, pergaulan para bhakta-bhakta-Nya. Melalui Satsang ini, maka Viveka (kemampuan diskriminatif) dan Vairagya (ketidak-melekatan) akan tertanam dan berkembang. Pada gilirannya, ia akan memperkuat semangatmu serta membekalimu ketenangan batin. Batinmu kelak akan bersatu di dalam Paramatma.
