Thought of the day !

Why is it meaningless to develop hatred for other faiths and religions? 

Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.

Persons, unaware of the Omnipresence of God, develop antagonisms among themselves based upon religion, caste and race. All religions have accepted the timelessness and the Omnipresence of God. So, it is strange that even those who accept this truth display such narrowness of mind. For, hatred between people professing different religions leads ultimately to the destruction of faith in religion itself. 

Those who are bent upon destroying religion must be utterly thoughtless. What has to be destroyed is religious bigotry, not religion itself. To despise other people's religion out of love for one's own religion is like demonstrating one's love for one's mother by denigrating the mothers of others. One should realize that other people have the same regard and devotion for their faiths, as one has for one's own religion. Youngsters of today should, while cultivating attachment to their own religion, respect the beliefs and practices of all others.

 Thought of the day !

Why are we unable to discover the Divinity that is inherent in us? 

Bhagawan, lovingly explains, so that we persist in Sadhana until the goal is reached!

To realize the state of divine consciousness, devotion is essential. Devotion aims at awakening consciousness of the Easwara (Divine) in man. All activity aimed at turning the mind towards God is a form of devotion. To think of God for attaining worldly desires and physical comforts is not devotion. To envisage and experience the Divine Sat-Chit-Ananda within him is the true mark of devotion. Because from ancient times man went after external material objects, he forgot the Eternal Divine Reality within him. 

Imprisoned within his qualities, man forgets the Divine. The one who is immersed in spirituality is indifferent to the Prakriti (phenomenal world). Spiritual transformation calls for changing the mind from a prisoner of the three gunas (qualities) to one that is bound to God. You have to acquire the firm conviction that the Divine is the basis and sustainer of the Universe. Goodness is a synonym for God. The power of the cosmic consciousness consists in making the good qualities manifest in a man.
