THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
What is the essential precept of every religion and spiritual master? Bhagawan, Our Loving Lord, poignantly and convincingly reminds us today.
All noble souls have taught sacred things. They said, “Love all”. They did not preach hatred. God never tells anybody to kill others. No one has any right to kill the other because the same Atma is present in all. In the name of God, people are committing heinous crimes. It is not good. Love all, Serve all. You cannot always oblige but you can always speak obligingly. There is no God greater than love. Love is God, God is love. Live in love. Destroy wicked qualities. The mean-minded people try to attribute their meanness to God. It is a sign of ignorance. Do not pay heed to such people. Have faith in your own Self. Otherwise, you cannot have love for God. Due to defects in the modern education system, love is diminishing in man day by day. Hatred is on the rise. Man is forgetting yathartha (truth) and thereby subjecting himself to anartha (danger). He has forgotten manavatva (humanness) by developing pashutva (animal tendency). True spirituality lies in destroying pashutva and transforming manavatva into Daivatva (Divinity). It is not possible to attain Divinity without getting rid of animality.
