Thought of the day !
Why should we be cautious as to what we fill our lives with? Bhagwan gives us a simple but profound message.
Aspirants for mental peace reduce the luggage you caring for; the more the luggage, the greater the bother. Objective possessions and subjective desires, both are handicaps in the race for realization. A house cluttered with lumber will be dark, dusty, and without free movement of fresh air; it will be stuffy and suffocating.
The human body too is a house; do not allow it to be cluttered with curios, trinkets, trash, and superfluous furnishings. Let the breeze of holiness blow as it wills through it; let not the darkness of blind ignorance desecrate it. Life is a bridge over the sea of change; pass over it, but do not build a house on it. Hoist the Prashanthi Flag, on the temple, that is your heart.
Follow the prescription it teaches - subdue the six enemies that undermine the natural bliss in man, ascend the Yoga stage when the agitations are stilled and allow the splendour of the Divinity within (the Atma) to shine forth, embracing all for all time.
